Best Answer

Aircraft cannot travel to or operate in space, for several reasons. # All aircraft require atmosphere for both propulsion and lift - with no atmosphere in space, an aircraft could not propel its way forward. # Aircraft do not have self-contained environmental control systems - they take in clean air from outside and circulate that air in the interior cabin. With no atmosphere, the occupants would run out of usable oxygen. # Aircraft do not have sufficient protection against solar radiation that a spacecraft experiences. The aircraft would overheat. # Even without the above problems, an aircraft does not have enough fuel to reach the space station, which is in a low-earth orbit. In short, aircraft are not designed to travel out to space.
