You would still make it to the moon (so I've heard). Maybe you wouldn't have GPS systems?
Newtonian physics is good enough for almost everything that humans do. It's not good for predicting the shit we see in telescopes, and apparently it's not good for GPS, although honestly I think without general relativity, GPS would still get made but there'd be a fudge factor that people just shrug about.
For just about anything else, Newton has us covered.
