It's possible. But then you have all your work ahead of you to explain where the oughts come from. You have to contend with Hume's skepticism.
I think Hume makes a good point. A simple study of the facts doesn't produce an ought.
So I think the discussion is more properly basic. "My tire is low on air. Therefore, I OUGHT to go fill it at the gas station." This isn't a scientific statement. But it is nonetheless reasonable. You don't get the ought from the "is." You get it from understanding the ideal state of your tires, and comparing it to its current state.
