DESTINATION MOON



The storyline:

Destination Moon is the first part of one of the few multi-book stories in the Tintin series, the other album is 'Explorers on the Moon' Destination Moon is an often humorous look into moon rocket technology. Destination Moon (1953) gives a detailed account on the preparation and the launching of the expedition to the Moon for which Professor Calculus has chosen Syladavian soil. Professor Cuthbert Calculus builds a rocket ship which will fly to the moon. Tintin and Captain Haddock travel to where the Professor is making his rocket.


The characters:


Calculus

Very absent-minded, hearing impaired, intuitive and sentimental to the extreme, Calculus is capable of the most unexpected ? and sometimes really weird ? connections with reality, by simply using his pendulum. At first a fine handyman, then a clever inventor, Calculus will go as far as conceiving the rocket which will take Tintin to the Moon. Later, after he had invented his ultrasonic doom machine so coveted by military powers, he will convert to horticulture.


Haddock

Ex-officer of the merchant navy, he ends up relishing life in his castle. He would often complain about his friend Tintin?s taste for adventure yet he would follow him everywhere, generally against his own will. If Tintin is a man of reason, Haddock appears to be a man of sentiments: he is clumsy, unlucky when he takes action, impulsive, generous, quick-tempered, and excessive with words. His taste for whisky is widely recognized as well as his famous insults: comical expletives, devoid of all coarseness and only aggressive because of their ?sonority?. He plays the fatherly role for Tintin.
