No details. Did his engine ingest rounds of 20mm or did he fire a little elevated and then dive underneath falling rounds, effectively shooting himself in the keister?

My understanding is that the rounds FOD'ed out the engine, but thats from memory and could be wrong.

Manned military spacecraft were later deemed unnecessary due to robotic spysats, just as all manned spaceflight should now be replaced by robotics.

The Military Test Space Station (MTSS)

The US Air Force started a series of contractor studies in the late 1950s to look ahead and explore anything related to space. Rockets, rocket planes, short- and long-term stays in space, logistics to supply outposts in space, and weapons; the works. These studies were titled the System Requirement (SR) studies to prepare US Air Force long-range plans. The Air Force made essentially no restrictions on the scope and content of the SR studies. In 1960, ten such studies were active. [2] More than six decades later, the SR studies remain mostly classified and only minimal content is known. [7,11,12]

The study and contractor concepts definitely informed the later military space station projects such as MODS, MOL, and OSS, as well at the NASA civilian proposals such as MORL. [7,40] Similar space science experiments continue to this day.
