WI: Brazilian civilian space program from the get-go?

What if, rather than being controlled by the Brazilian military for the first thirty-odd years of its existence, the Brazilian space program was civilian-run from the start? Obviously, this would allow for better relations with NASA and other nuclear-wary space agencies worldwide.

Thinking of doing a secondary TL on this, so please answer constructively.
 
You have 2 problems:
1-we were under a military regime.They were very fond of huge strategic programs.
2-If a space civilian agent was created before the 1964 army coup,it would have been put under military control after it.No military control,no funds.
