Sputnik turned American spending, education wise, to math and science. Throughout the years following Sputnik, there was a push to encourage students to excel in these subjects, and the arts slowly gained a reputation of being 'useless.' This related to an eventual increase in scholarship money for students studying these subjects, and others considered crucial to defense, such as spanish or arabic.
The launch of Sputnik in 1957 had a profound impact on American society, igniting fears of Soviet technological superiority and prompting the U.S. government to intensify its focus on education, particularly in science and mathematics. This led to increased funding for research and the establishment of organizations like NASA, catalyzing the space race. Additionally, Sputnik influenced public perceptions of national security and spurred a wave of patriotism and innovation, ultimately reshaping American culture and its approach to science and technology.
No, the Russian's Sputnik was unmanned.
When Russia launched Sputnik it frightened and shocked other countries because Russia had led the way. As a result the American government spend millions of dollars to ensure that it outranked Russia technologically and the result was what we know as the internet today.

The multiplier effect refers to the phenomenon where an initial injection of spending into the economy leads to a larger increase in overall economic activity. This occurs as the initial spending stimulates additional rounds of spending as income generated from the initial spending is re-spent by others. The multiplier effect helps magnify the impact of government spending or investment on the economy.
