Commentary During 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.

doors/doorways, pipes, ear-trumpets, even a cork--it seems whale is extra clumsy this timeIn honor of the first moon landing that happened on this day in 1969, I'm reviewing Destination Moon by Georges Remi Herge. It was first written 19 years before the landing and translated a decade before.Destination Moon starts where Land of Black Gold ends. Tintin is home but is soon sent to Syldavia to witness a test flight of a moon rocket that will go around to the darkside of the Moon and photograph it.Destination Moon is better paced than Land of Black Gold, probably because it's not
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
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!
Another Tintin adventure featuring Snowy, Captain Haddock and Tintin of course.

Herge's drawing of characters and backgrounds is flawless, as is his ability to pace the story across the page. But this isn't amongst the strongest Tintins for a few reasons: it's really a build-up to the main event in Explorers on the Moon, so there's a lot of filler instead of plot, mostly involving Captain Haddock and the Thompsons slapstick scenes - funny on small doses, not so much when it takes up half the book. The shady rivals sub-plot is good, but is drawn out with no resolution, as
