Jet engines can't do this because they ingest air to generate thrust, so as the air becomes thinner, they generate less thrust. Rockets don't need air. So if we could design an airplane with a rocket strapped to it with enough thrust to reach orbit (like the Space Shuttle), we could make it to space.
