Jets use jet engines which obtain the oxygen they need to operate from the air. There is no air in space, hence no oxygen, meaning that they cannot fly in space. Once they get to a certain altitude, there is not enough power to fly higher.

Rockets carry their own oxygen supply, normally in the form of Liquid Oxygen, to allow their engines to work.

How fast would you have to jump off the moon to land on earth?

To jump from the moon and land on Earth, you would need to achieve an initial velocity of about 2.38 km/s (over 5,300 mph). This speed is the escape velocity of the moon, which is the minimum speed required to break free from the moon's gravitational pull and reach Earth.

Would it be harder to land a spaceship on the moon than Earth?

It depends. Objects on the Moon weigh 1/6 of what they weigh on Earth , but the Moon has a rougher surface and the spacecraft cannot be closely monitored by chase planes or easily by people in a control room. It's also much easier and cheaper to send a spacecraft into orbit and land on Earth than the Moon, and costs less. In addition it depends on what kind spacecraft; it's easier to land a space-plane like design (such as a space shuttle) on Earth. A Lunar lander, such as the Apollo would be more suited to land on the Moon.
