Relation As Books Destination Moon (Tintin #16)

First written in 1953, 15 years before the first real moon landing in 1969! I like these books because of their nostalgia value, good old-fashioned values of heroism, adventure good vs. evil. . I first got hold of copies of 'Destination Moon ' and 'Explorers on the Moon' when I was ten, and I was fascinated by the world which they opened up. Tintin and Captain Haddock fly to the uranium-rich Balkan State of Syldavia, to work with Professor Calculus on his project to send a rocket to the moon, using the mountains of Syldavia as a base. You learn a lot about the fantasyland of Syldavia, and about the unusual perception of the world of his time, by the author, Herge. This work is amazing in its futuristic scope. The super-modern (for when it was written in1953) Sprodj Atomic Research Center, and the details of the rocket where quite an amazing concept when the book was first published, 16 years before the first real moon landing by Neil Armstrong in 1969. It is full of adventure, such as when Tintin is wounded while surprising villains at the ventilator grid in the picturesque Syldavian Mountains; and much humour such as escapades with Captain Haddock's pipe and Professor Calculus' hearing aid , and the famous scene of an enraged Professor Calculus `acting the goat'. It is a great adventure for all ages, a wonderful album to have.

Column Out Of Books Destination Moon (Tintin #16)

This was a trip down memory lane. I first read the "moon books" in 1995 and remember these as being among my favourite Tintin adventures (esp. Explorers on the Moon). Many an hour spent chortling about the other neutrons (I was getting worried about them too). Best part, I actually learned some scientific facts while re-reading this book 14 years later. Cannot begin to appreciate Herge's imagination enough regarding these wonderful adventures. Also Captain Haddock being dragged around town by

Destination moon is the first part of a two part series of tintin's adventures that will take him off to moon.

But befoe they could travel to moon they must protect the secret plans of the rocket from getting into wrong

Im in love with Snowy and Captain Haddock! 😂😂❤

Another Tintin adventure featuring Snowy, Captain Haddock and Tintin of course.

a very good read. the book has lot of fun moments and extremely funny at times. a worthy tintin book.

Professor Calculus has a plan - Himself, Tintin, Snowy, and Captain Haddock are all going to the moon! This episode is to be concluded in the next exciting book!

Part 16 of my (actually happening!) big re-read of the whole Tintin-canon after decades ...I had read this one before, and whilst I can now appreciate it more due to the infos provided in the excellent 'The Complete Companion' by Michael Farr, I can also see the weaknesses - mostly the pacing and the balance between drama and comedy. Within the comedy I find it increasingly annoying that some jokes are ridden until they're raw, examples would be Haddock and the door or Haddock and the hole in
