The X15 was supposed to be how we got into space. Not the big Saturn rockets. Something went wrong on one of the flights and the x shot off into space. Prolly still motivatin' out there. They only made three.
Yeager did not fly the X-15, but he did copilot a B-52 mothership. X-15 #1 is at the Smithsonian, #2 is at Wright-Pat and #3 suffered a midair breakup killing Major Michael Adams. None were lost in space. Sputnik killed the rocket plane. Rockets were a quicker way to catch up.
