"Aircraft" rely on "Air" to keep them aloft... ;)...!

There is no "Air" in space!...;)...!

"Space Vehicles", etc, will most probably be found in "Misc"....>>>>

You cannot fly in space in FSX.
FSX allows you to go into space (like, you teleport there), but it's not able to simulate a high-enough speed to make you reach space. Also, FSX does not simulate "rocket" style engines, so you be able to get any engine power up there, and you won't be able to control the direction of your aircraft either.

You'll have to wait for somebody to create a module which would simulate this. For the moment there are no modules like that, so for the moment in FSX it's not possible to fly in space.

There are some spaceships that fly like normal jets in the Misc section, though.

There is... Just hardly any and extremely far apart.   ;)

Besides, I thought they just require any fluid, not just air.  :-/
