Cute story, and WOW on that experience. But I gotta tell ya... if you went from the earyl-1960s to early 1980s not realizing that the dudes who flew in space, walked on the moon, and got ticker-tape parades on Broadway "weren't famous".. well, pick up a magazine, my friend!
We knew they were famous but not how famous. John Glenn & Scott Carpenter spoke at our boy scout troop. Some of them spoke at our school. I think the Satelite Hotel was the only restaurant on the island at the time, we would see a bunch of astronauts eating Sunday dinner there all the time. They were basically neighbors for all we knew.
