Uhm, negative Ghostrider. You'd have a hard time building a go-kart for <$5k.

Spaceships are EXTREMELY expensive. According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_elevator_economics
you can get on a proton rocket for about $4300 per kilogram. So if you built a tiny satellite, about the size of a milk carton, and had it launched along with a whole lot of other small satellites, you might be able to get it up into orbit for less than $5000.

Are you insane? Do you realize what you are asking? Try calculating the force needed to escape gravity. The tech to do that for anything heavier than a stapler is going to cost more than $5000. Hope you haven't booked reservations on the Spacestation yet...

NASA has at various times provided opportunities for small projects to participate at low cost or no cost, as part of a larger mission. Convince NASA of the scientific value of putting a baseball into orbit, and they may carry it up on a Space Shuttle mission and toss it out into orbit for you.

inspect Newton's rules. for each action there is an equivalent and opposite reaction. F=ma. An merchandise in action keeps at a relentless velocity in a right this moment line except an exterior stress is utilized. (this final one could answer your question) there is no resistance in area!

That's like asking whether it's possible to build a professional drag-racer for $20.

I tried - Good Lord, how I tried.
But no matter which way I made it - it always cost me $5001
damn damn damn
