A Sputnik? Was there more than one?

It might just be another name for a satellite in the 1950s, sort of like how we call bandages Band-Aids.

well it was called ‘Sputnik 1’, at the time, how could we know how many of them the soviets managed to toss into orbit?

The Soviets sent three satellites named ‘Sputnik’. Sputnik 1 was the first man-made earth satellite. Sputnik 2 carried Laika the Space Dog. Sputnik 3 was a research satellite for the International Geophysical Year, and was still in orbit at the time this comic was written.
