Explorers on the Moon

[Lazro]

Look at what I found:

Tintin meets Armstrong

Translates to "Welcome to the moon, Mr. Armstrong!" (I think.)

[MinerEdgar]

Ha, I like it.

Yes. You are right. (I studied french.)

did HERGE draw that?

did HERGE draw that?

Yes, to commemorate the Moon landing. It's pretty cool. Herge made some accurate predictions of how a Moon landing would be, like the lower gravity, stars not twinkling due to lack of atmosphere, and a few other things. Other things, not so much lol - single stage to Moon, constant acceleration to/from Moon, and no clouds seen on Earth.

Well, you can't win them all

I read something that suggested that the constant acceleration and then deceleration could explain why they got there and back so fast. That is what you do for a speed run to Mun, so now quite as bad as it first seems.
