 I realise this is a very silly question... But supposing you had already 
 built a high-altitude pressurised aircraft, under the homebuilt rules.
 Is it legally possible to convert it into a spacecraft ( orbiter ),
 assuming that you had a compact powerplant capable of such a feat?
 Could you legally fly it ( ie, would IFR/jet rating for a private jet
 be sufficient )?
