Jets need air in order to work. Look at the jet engines on an airliner, and you'll
notice that the front of the engine is wide open . . . to take in large gulps of air
and mix it with the jet fuel. There's no air in space, so jets don't work there.

Why cant jets go as fast as a rocket?
All things being equal, the speed of a rocket or jet depends on the power of the engine, the weight of the vehicle and the drag on the vehicle. But rockets do have some advantages: They can travel in space where there is no drag. Jets require air. It is possible to build very powerful rockets with very little weight. Jets are heavier for the same power. Of course, jets are made for continuous use. Rockets are frequently one-time use.
