Destination Moon: Part 2 - S3-E10

Revealing mistake: When Calculus is showing Tintin and Haddock around the rocket, they are in the deck below. Tintin and Calculus have already climbed down the ladder and Haddock is still climbing. Whilst Haddock is climbing down, the button on the back of his space suit vanishes for one frame. (00:31:50)

Destination Moon: Part 2 - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Calculus is showing Tintin and Haddock the airlocks in the rocket, there are three levers shown, two of which are level with each other.

Explorers on the Moon: Part 1 - S3-E11

Other mistake: Wolff is explaining that if the motor is shut off again, the magnetic sole boots they are wearing will stop them from floating. Whilst he is explaining this, he is placing the boot straps over the Velcro. The first strap he places is only partially on, but a few frames after, a blip occurs in the animation, and the strap is suddenly entirely over the Velcro. The same happens with the second strap as well. (00:08:00)

Explorers on the Moon: Part 1 - S3-E11

Plot hole: Where did Thomson and Thompson get the pyjamas from? Tintin, Haddock, Calculus and Wolff did not bring any pyjamas aboard the shuttle with them because they were planning on sleeping in their clothes and Thomson and Thompson were only on the rocket because they were inspecting it before take-off, so they wouldn't have brought anything with them.

Other mistake: Haddock is lowering crates onto the moon and looks over to see Thomson and Thompson, whilst they are heard playing around off-screen. In this shot, Haddock's antenna cannot be seen through his helmet, even though the helmet should be transparent. (00:20:40)
