A question for all of you: if you were alive when Sputnik was

And me.
My memories of that historic day were going poo-poo in my diapers, and wishing it could have been on Khrushchev's head instead. ;-)
The first space mission I have any detailed memory of was Carpenter's Mercury flight, as I remember the balloon failing to deploy properly, and the Navy searching for him after the landing.
