We'd have an egomaniac as the first US man in space ?
Epicness.
It might help blur the line between the Air Force and NASA (and I've come to believe that the Military being involved in Space would have helped; all your moon base and space station dreams would have come true at some point).
we should have kept the X15 and DynaSoar.. they had more capability and the entire Air Force program was pretty solid. Damn McNamara for cancelling them
