No of course not with all the laws and government regulations you would have to meet or break.
First if you want to build this in your yard you will have to get a zoning permit to build this in your yard. Then probably the EPA will be watching you making sure do not damage you enviroment in any way. Then there is Osha making sure that your work area is safe and up to standareds even though you ship doesn't yet exist so I have no idea what they would try to classify your project as. Then if you actually get it in the air the FAA will be after you to make sure you do not fly it in a residentail area and to keep track of what your ship can do. If it exceeds FAA standards you might have the Air Force after you, and NASA also the NSA for security of our country. If your ship emits radio waves you could get the FCC after you also with the technology the FBI and the CIA.
How free are we now?

[EDIT: Whoops! Sorry for all the U.S.-oriented statements below. Forgot that you are launching from the UK. In any case, substitute the appropriate UK equivalents where applicable.] I wish you luck. If nothing else, you are bound to learn a lot about how difficult it is to launch a spacecraft. I don't think there are any regulations against launching an interplanetary probe. But you would certainly have to contend with this: * You'll need to coordinate with the FAA, and convince them that your craft is not going to interfere with any aircraft in the area during launch, even if it accidentally veers off course. This is usually done by actually steering all flights away from the area. I imagine it will be very difficult to get the FAA to go along with that. * You'll need to convince all concerned countries (including the U.S.) that your spacecraft is not actually a weapon. * You'll need to convince all concerned countries (including the U.S.) that your spacecraft will not malfunction and fall down on some innocent bystanders. Other than that (and the amazing technical hurdles) you should be good to go!

Certainly. You can even build a time machine, and travel to the future or past. The only problem is getting the spaceship or time machine.

Escape from mundaneness of this material world by building a spaceship that will launch you to space to last until you die.

Yes, you have the Free Ranger's Official Permission. One Earth Exit Visa granted. I recommend you look into alien immigration laws before setting off, however.

Of course you may! Feel free there's some space for all of us there. But, please contact NASA for some more information.
We wouldn't like to hear your bad news...
The news:
"Boricua is now a part of the atmosphere".
