Line 20:
* [[My God, You Are Serious]]: When Calculus says he is finishing plans for a rocket that will land on the moon, Captain Haddock has a big hearty laugh about it, and facetiously suggests, [[Tempting Fate|"You are taking passengers, I hope?"]] Calculus replies, "Why else do you think I asked you to join me?", utterly stunning Tintin and the Captain.
* [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]]: This turns out to be the case for the moon rocket and the entire Sylvadian moon landing mission. Which is why when Professor Calculus got [[Easy Amnesia|amnesia]], the entire project was put into jeopardy. He was the only one with memory of the designs.
* [[Retro Rocket]]: ''[[Tintin]]'s'' rocket from "[[Tintin/Recap/Destination Moon|Destination Moon]]" and "[[Tintin/Recap/Explorers on the Moon|Explorers on the Moon]]" as seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20130513170346/http://www.torpedo-emscher.de/wr/union/rakete/img/tintin_rocket10_.jpg here]. This is an interesting case as it's combined with a [[Shown Their Work|frighteningly prescient]] depiction of the [[Cold War]] space program. Blueprints and launchpad shown [https://web.archive.org/web/20100620063826/http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/rocket3p.html#tintin here].
* [[Ruritania]]: Syldavia. Previously featured in ''[[Tintin/Recap/King Ottokar's Sceptre|King Ottokar's Sceptre]]'' (1939), Syldavia is an atypically detailed version of this trope. It has its own flag, royal dynasty, historical events and even a language created by Hergé. The made-up language, despite being written in Cyrillic script, was remarkably not Slavic but a dialect of Flemish/Dutch with some curious phonetics. In this album Syldavia becomes the setting for a fictionalized space program.
* [[Schematized Prop]]: The album uses a full page to show the blueprint for the Moon-Rocket.
