Hello guys,
New to this forum, so sorry if I put this in the wrong area. Anyways, most people are going to say this is implausible, but I want to try it anyways. To get a ~3 gram model rocket into space, theoretically you would need around 340 single use model rocket engines to make it to space (right outside the exosphere). But what if I were to make a jet engine, for a light weight rocket, it wouldn't be necessarily a model rocket. But instead of using a rocket engine, you take a jet engine up to 40,000 feet. Then switch to a oxygenator (or a jet engine) because above 40,000 feet oxygen is scarce. I read somewhere the reason NASA doesn't use jet engines, is because it wouldn't be able to lift the load of a spaceship, but if you were to make a light weight rocket. Would that work? Thanks in advance.
