Constructing space-crafts without the use of electricity

Would it be possible for a civilization with absolutely minimal knowledge and use of electricity (Light-bulbs, basic electric motors, and archaic radios) to reach space?

I was thinking that a solid state rocket of some sort would be usable to reach orbit. Steering functions could be entirely mechanical. The only problems I can think of are air supply and propulsion out-of-atmosphere.
