Question for ya, CLK Man...

You like to throw out the puzzlers, so I have one for you.

What is special about Halloween night, 1957?

Same rule as you lay down, no running to the web for help.

Nope, before my time. Coincidentally I just learned this particular little factoid a short while before the post...and of all the people I "know", I thought you most likely to get it.

does it have anything to do with a Japanese car manufacturer?

wait, it's the day that Senator Gerry passed away.

or the day that Shirley "God Hates Fags" Phelps-Roper was born... (maybe gawd hates hyphenated last names too...) Gotta figure that someone as scary as her would have been born on Halloween

I think Chilcutt got the right answer though...

Please note. This was two years after Alice Kramden reached the moon. She did NOT achieve orbital status.

I actually had to look that up..."Halloween" was looking back to 1963, but I like that guess!
