After the Mercury capsule commerative flight, a nosecone could be added atop and the adapter could continue to fly future high tech experiments/spacecraft – shaping the future!

…But other than the entertainment factor Shuttlegirl is probably right.

I do like the idea of having students work on it.

Call it the Glenn Prize in honor of the flight.

Better to use that money to shape up the future than to reminesce about the past, glorious as it is.
