What if some pioneering individual had the wherewithal to actually orbit the earth a few times in a vehicle he built in his garage?

Upon his return, would he have been arrested?

For what?

If he was an American, perhaps. I'm not sure what the penalties are for launching without a license. There would almost certainly be a fine, if he failed to get one.
