Pretty darn close, the SR71 can go out as far as the outer atmosphere.
The limitation is that a jet engine needs oxygen to create the flame to get thrust from the engines, and there isn't any in outer space.
Rocket engines are used to travel to outer space,and they carry their own oxygen for combustion, or use solid fuel that also creates its own oxygen.
Only in outer space
Well, that we could fly into outer space. Beyond that I don't know what you mean. Jet planes were invented by the Nazis before the first space flights, so the space race didn't spawn those.
the called space shuttles
To achieve flight in Earth's atmosphere, you would typically use jet engines, turboprop engines, or piston engines. In outer space, rocket engines are commonly used for propulsion due to the lack of air for combustion. Rocket engines propel spacecraft by expelling mass in the form of hot gases at high speeds.
Get in your space ship and fly down to earth
to outer space
People are said to "fly", when they board a helicopter, airplane, jet or space shuttle. It follows that if air is also in the vehicle, and it is; then air can "fly" also.
The first man in space was the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
Then it would either fly off into outer space or crash into the body it was supposed to orbit.
rich people who can fly to outer space and see one in person
on airplanes yes... in space sort of... if you had a jet pack... but sadly people can't fly like birds yet. =(
The jet engine made the world smaller by making travel time shorter. Also,helped to get humans into outer space. These are just a few things the jet engine did.
