Why can't blimps fly into space?

Blimps rely on buoyancy to stay afloat, which is achieved by being lighter than the air around them. In the vacuum of space, there is no air for the blimp to displace and generate lift, so it would not be able to remain buoyant and fly. Additionally, blimps are not designed to withstand the extreme conditions, temperatures, and lack of atmosphere in space.
