A carriage with no horses? Poppycock!
An automobile that can fly? Boulderdash!
A flying machine that can leave earth? Preposterous!

Machines that fly to space? No way.
So where is your rocket to space mate? Not everything invented ends up in your home or civilian hands.

No. Theres a reason why 80 since the first rockets flew that they are still only launched by large organizations with large financial backing. The technology is just mot compatible with personal use. Rockets are never going to be safe enough or efficient enough that you can park one in your backyard and take a joyride to space.

When I was a young teen, my potassium nitrate + sugar rockets made it to just shy of 4000m before I ruined my mother's kitchen and had to stop.
I guess my point is: Everything is already in civilian hands, but a residence is not suitable for working with extremely high (or low) energy densities.

I bet a diligent person could find enough explosives to get at least some of themselves into space.

Commercial space flight is becoming a very real thing. Can't wait to see where it's at in another 50 years.

No its not. Even the budget, edge of space options are far, far too resource intensive to ever be affordable.
The "but some people said cars wouldn't catch on" thing is a fallacy.
