I don't know about that really. I was in First grade. I remember reading about Gagarin in our Weekly Readers.
His feat was incredible at the time and I do not know about the adults at the time but us kids thought it was very cool.
Without Gagarin, the U.S. would have probably been much slower in pursuing it's goals in space.
