It will be a really cool toy, but a bit pricey. And maybe a retired Air Force pilot to fly it for you. Ohm you also need the "space suit" and life support equipment as well.
And per the video that I posted just above you, oil/lubricant that is solid at room temperature and needs to be heated before the motor can be started or the system filled.

Doesn't NASA have one or two that they use for testing of some sort?
