Yes, to some extent it did. When the Russians launched Sputnik it was seen as a military threat and the US needed to respond. Due to this NASA was created and the space race was on. The idea of "containment" of the Soviet communist threat was the primary foreign policy of the US since the end of WWII and this set the policy for most things in defense and science. The by product of this are many of the inventions that we now use daily. A good example of this is the computer. Without the development of space research the computer may have been slower to develop.
