Destination Moon: Part 1 - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: To launch the model rocket into outer space, Tintin pushes a lever with a green handle. Once the control tower is told to engage the nuclear motor, the first lever that Tintin had pushed is now a blue lever and the second lever that Tintin is now holding onto is a grey lever. Two shots after that, both the levers are now green. (00:16:00 - 00:16:35)

Trivia: There is a mistake pointing out that the newspaper at the end is a flipped shot.

Steven Spielberg went on to direct the Tintin movie Secret of the Unicorn in 2011. (00:43:35)
