At least it looks like it's got another season to go... that would probably cover the years 1965-66.

Nice of 'em to pay a little tribute to the late astronaut Gus Grissom by having J.J. meet him. I'm assuming the year was 1965, as they made a reference to Grissom already having flown Gemini 3.

(The unnamed spacesuit company is a thinly-veiled reference to ILC Industries in Delaware, who made the spacesuits for the Apollo missions.)

* Interesting what-might-have been: if Grissom did not die in the Apollo 1 fire in 1967, chances were very good he would have been the one making the first step on the moon.
