Yikes. I was based on a false assumption. Is it possible that
the Halloween calebration happened not on the night of -10-31,
but on the next Saturday night? This would make the episode
consistent with the Air-date [2001-11-03].

So what are your thoughts on the position/phase of the Moon in _ST:First 
Contact_?

I always knew that I would see the first man on the Moon.
I never dreamed that I would see the last.

If you mean the link to Edgar Governo's page, it doesn't have that

Maybe I'll have to do it my own darn self sometime in the next few
years
