Sputnik 1, launched by the USSR on October 4 1957.
Sputnik means "fellow traveller".
I was only 8 month old at that time, so I had to rely on other to give me the details...

SPUTNIK never existed, it was all done in a studio at KGB-TV in 1957. It was so well done that the US hired the producers and staff to stage the 1969 moon landing. You youngsters are so gullible.

Like the moon landings, it was a hoax. No one actually saw this little thing orbiting the Earth.
