Mission: Impossible?

According to Immanuel Kant our mind shapes the world the way we see it. The forms of sense-knowledge, the conditions of all sensation, are time and space. These factors of perception provide structure to the world as it is discerned by us. Is it possible for the human mind to reach beyond the spatiotemporal limitations, and thus gaining knowledge of the thing in itself, the noumenal world? Or are we stuck with these categories of restriction? Could the human mind ignore the spatiotemporal factors, or does our understanding of the world presuppose the conditions of time and space? Is it possible for us to obtain knowledge of the material world without considering time and space?
