No way, mate. Something that large and bulky, not to mention pricey, belongs at the very least in some sort of lightweight airframe with the ability to have even a small amount of glide capability in case of engine failure(s).
A disaster waiting to happen.
Although the military might find some unconventional use for it.

You’re so right. I’ve been waiting a lifetime but not for that!
We have a running gag in our family. When one of the kids asks me, “Need a hand?” I say no, I need wings!
This contraption has no room for error. I’m thinking rocketry is not the way to go about it unless the exhaust is blowing upwards or capable of same. Get the heat under the wing, not on your heels.
No wings...no sale.
