Prior to 1957 what was the only satellite orbiting the earth?
Prior to 1957, the only artificial satellite orbiting the Earth was the United States' Vanguard 1, which was launched on March 17, 1958. However, before that, the first successful artificial satellite was the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1, launched on October 4, 1957. Therefore, before Sputnik 1's launch, there were no artificial satellites in orbit.

Where did NASA used to build its space shuttles up until now. Was it Florida or Houston?
The Space Shuttles were originally built by the United Space Alliance, a team of contractors who built and assembled the Shuttles prior to delivery to NASA. After delivery, they were assembled for launch and space orbit at Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) prior to each launch. Each Shuttle after returning from orbit would go through a major systems check and key parts would be serviced and maintained prior to gearing up for the next launch. The process took months; a few weeks prior to launch, a Shuttle was lifted into place in the VAB, onto the crawler (a large pad that carried the Shuttle to the launch pads), adding the SRB's, payload into the cargo bay, and all its final systems checks. All pre-launch activities were handled at KSC; at Shuttle launch (T +1 on the mission clock) Shuttle mission control was handed over from KSC to the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

When did sputnik 2 return back to earth?
There were in fact several Sputnik satellites, but I imagine you're asking about the very first. Sputnik-1 spent 3 months in orbit before re-entering and burning up. It was launched on October 4 1957, and was destroyed on January 4 1958. So it's location today would be... nowhere. It's believed to have been destroyed entirely. There is one piece left of sputnik, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_1 This metal arming key is the last remaining piece of the first Sputnik satellite. It prevented contact between the batteries and the transmitter prior to launch. Currently on display at the National Air and Space Museum.
How did the soviet union's launch of sputnik affect science and technology in the US?
It shocked the American scientific community, and also the US military and government, who hadn't realized the Soviets were that far advanced technologically; the big fear was that the next space launch might contain a nuclear bomb, which could be exploded over an American city, or fired toward it. The Soviets might also try to colonize or control access to outer space. Prior to the Sputnik launch, America hadn't taken space science very seriously; afterward, it became a high priority. Future President Lyndon B. Johnson (then a Senator) was quoted as saying "I for one do not want to go to bed by the light of a Communist moon." After his election, President John F. Kennedy vowed to put a man on the moon within 10 years. He knew that we were behind the Russians in putting a man into space. So he raised the goal higher. Out of this achievement, many new technological inventions were born.
