Why not put wire mesh in front of plane engine to control bird strike?

That might work for a stationary engine, but for a plane at speed the impact would be so strong that a wire mesh would have to be unacceptably thick and heavy to be strong enough to catch a bird. Come to think of it, there's a probability that a mesh would simply dice the bird on its way into the engine even if the mesh could be made stsrong enough.

What happens when something gets stuck in a plane jet?
When you say "plane jet" i assume that you're refering to a jet engine. When something gets stuck, this is called a bird strike. If your engine is an older one ( or if it is not "bird strike resistant certified") then the object will either wedge itself or splatter upon impact, and can jam the air blades inside the jet, causing the engine to fail and the plane to crash. If your plane is resistant to birdstrikes, then the engine will just grind up the thing and it will fly out the back. I hope i answered your question.
Why wouldn't a plane be able to fly in space?
There is no air for the wings to work with, to control the plane. The engine also needs air to burn the fuel.

Most commonly on the front attached to the fuselage. However, there are many variations. On a "pusher" the engine is at the back of the fuselage. The engine can be mounted above the wing and fuselage on some seaplanes.
What is a plane without an engine known as?
