There were several different positive outcomes of the Apollo Space Program including:
1) The United States put a man on the moon- Thanks to a huge amount of government funding, the US was able to put a man on the moon before the end of the 1960's. This famous moon landing in 1969 showed America's technological and scientific superiority to the entire world.
2) Increased funding for public education- Due to the competition between the US and Soviet Union during this time, the federal government poured hundreds of millions of dollars into public education. This funding was supposed to encourage students to get interested in the fields of science and mathematics.
