When Does "Astronaut Dad" (2012) Take Place?
"Astronaut Dad" is a historical fiction graphic novel written by David Hopkins that released 2012 (though the first half premiered as a graphic novella December 12th, 2007). So when is "Astronaut Dad" set?
It takes place in the year:
We know this because in chapter two, someone arrives at the pool and says, "On the radio. About five minutes ago." immediately followed by "Someone shot Kennedy." The assassination of United States of American President John F. Kennedy happened in the real world on November 22nd, 1963 AD. So it must be late November of 1963 AD.
1963 AD

The assassination of United States of American President John F. Kennedy happened in the real world on November 22nd, 1963 AD. So it must be late November of 1963 AD.
Furthermore, the first chapter begins with a blank page with white lettering reading "August 1963." Presumably it is August of 1963 AD at this point.
