While unknown to many, Russia was actually after celebrities to capture and kidnap during the Cold War. Upon seeing the Sputnik, Little Richard was reminded of this and thought it would be safer to completely end his career and become a nonentity.

How many sputniks were there?
Short answer: the Soviet Union launched three Sputnikmissions (Sputnik 1, 2 & 3) and Russia launched two Sputnik missions (Sputnik 40 & 41). The Soviet Union launched a further five Korabl Sputnik missions (Korabl Sputnik 1 to 5). All other Sputnik missions are the West's brainchild. The Soviet Union called the very first artificial satellite from October 4th 1957, Sputnik. Due to secrecy a lot of Soviet spacecraft were not publicly named and Western newspapers named different Soviet spacecraft Sputniks. When they reached high Sputnik numbers they realised that the Soviet Union already called their indefinite satellites for Cosmos.The Vostok spacecraft were tested unmanned or with dogs and dummies (Ivan Ivanovic) as Korabl Sputniks (Sputnik ship) as Soviet designation.

Why geostationary satellites require to transmit the TV signals?
If a satellite appears to move in the sky, then the ground station antenna has to keep moving in order to follow it, and the satellite will be below the horizon, invisible, and unusable for half the time over the long run. That would really put a crimp in the operation of all the little 2-ft satellite TV dishes on top of garages.
