	The Adventures of Tintin (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the episodes Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon, 3D animation was used for the Moon rocket - an unusual step in 1989.
		However, later televised episodes such as the Moon story and Tintin in America clearly demonstrate the artists' development during the course of the series.
		Therefore, international versions of the series make some alterations (including Haddock drinking lemonade in Explorers on the Moon, and his drunken state being caused by 'space sickness'!).

		The moon is a cold, dry orb whose surface is studded with craters and strewn with rocks and dust (called regolith).
		Also, from any spot on the moon (except on the far side of the moon where you cannot see the Earth), the Earth would always be in the same place in the sky; the phase of the Earth changes and the Earth rotates, displaying various continents.
		At its closest approach (the lunar perigee) the moon is 221,460 miles (356,410 km) from the Earth.

		Lowman, who in 1959 became the first geologist hired by NASA, is a long-time advocate of human explorers on the moon.
		Observatories on the Moon have been repeatedly endorsed by a number of scientific workshops and repeatedly dismissed because of their presumed high cost.
		Lowman says that the moon's greatest advantage over space as a telescope site is that it has a surface - that is, it offers a stable platform.

		NASA will attempt to launch American explorers back to the moon in 2018 aboard a new rocket comprised of an Apollo-derived capsule for the astronauts and rocketry borrowed from the aging space shuttle fleet, NASA administrator Michael Griffin said today.
		Six of the missions landed a pair of explorers on the rugged terrain of the moon's near side before President Nixon brought the program to a halt.
		The heavier portion of the spacecraft needed to reach the moon would be launched separately into Earth orbit aboard a rocket combining the shuttle's fuel tank, main rocket engines and booster rockets.

		But more than the standard intrigue and constant brushes with danger, what makes "Explorers on the Moon" so fascinating is the documentary detail that Hergé infuses into the story.
		"Explorers on the Moon" would work as a straight-forward first man on the moon type story, but, of course, in Hergé's hands it becomes so much more.

		The president envisions the development of a new spacecraft—the oddly named “crew exploration vehicle”—that would be tested by 2008 and used in extended human missions to the moon as early as 2015.
		Noting that the moon has a gravity pull one-sixth that of Earth’s, Bush described an extended human presence on the moon where spacecrafts could be assembled, provisioned, and launched using less energy, thereby cutting costs.
		Funding proposals for the bulk of Bush’s plan—including the manned missions to the moon and an exploration of its resources—have not been determined.

	To the moon? - collectSPACE: Messages
		Japan's space agency, JAXA, hopes to develop a robot to conduct probes on the moon by 2015, then begin constructing a solar-powered manned research base on the moon and designing a reusable manned space vessel like the U.S. space shuttle by 2025, the Mainichi Shimbun said.
		Eventually, there will be so many explorers on the Moon that we will not care which country they are from.
		If the Japanese plan a manned mission to the Moon in 20 years (after the US return mission) they should be active in manned space NOW.

		US President George Bush wants to send US space explorers back to the moon as part of a bid to refurbish his war-tattered image before next year's elections, according to media reports.
		The moon project shaped the legacy of president John F. Kennedy, who proposed a moon mission prior to his assassination in 1963.
		The first moon landing in 1969 is much more closely associated with his presidency than the Vietnam War, which he also set in motion.

	NASA - Getting Ready to Buggy on the Moon
		As they prepare for the race, the students are supporting the Vision for Space Exploration announced Jan. 14 by President Bush.
		Astronauts used separate Lunar Rovers on the final three Moon missions -- Apollo 15, 16 and 17 -- to travel 52.51 miles (84.5 kilometers), gather 620.6 pounds (281.5 kilograms) of rock and soil samples, and return them to Earth.
		The students' Moonbuggy challenge is to design a human-powered vehicle able to fit into a space no more than 4 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet that also must be quickly unfolded, assembled and ready to ride, yet light enough for its two drivers to carry.

		It is a distillation of two of the very best books, Destination Moon and Explorers On The Moon, both first published in the early fifties.
		Overall there are five phases like this, before you finally arrive at the moon and have to control the rocket’s thrusters if you want to land in one piece.
		There are five space stages, and five rocket stages (of increasing difficulty and varying layouts) before the final level where Tintin must land the ship on the moon, using just the fire button to reduce speed.
