In the original showing of the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer TV program, the original script did not include the actual return to the Island of Misfit Toys at the end, it was simply mentioned that Santa went back.
Due to a very large number of letters expressing concern about these toys, the scene was added.

The world's second artificial satellite was the R-7 core rocket body.
What most people saw as the Sputnik satellite was actually the Rocket Body which was much larger and had reflective panels on it.
