whoa, thats pretty cool. but theres a hell of a technological leap between a remote controlled vehicle, or submarine, and a spaceship that freely traverses outer space.
once again, reality just can't keep up with our awesome imagination.
Would it be possible to build a ship out of household items?

All you need is something that can hold enough pressurised fuel to break from the atmosphere and can stay upright after launch. In all honesty, if you don't plan to launch anything heavy, it probably could be done. Most spaceships are just boxes attached to a tank oxygen and a tank of hydrogen anyway.
...oh, and some rather advanced release controls and cladding and whatever.

I can bring up other ways reality is endlessly awesome. There are so many.
