* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: It's easy to miss, but the Thom(p)sons display an unusual bout of competence in this story by successfully [[spoiler:capturing the Mole, who had managed to get the drop on Haddock]]. Of course, everybody, including them, thinks it's another of their stupid mistakes when they realise [[spoiler:the person they captured is Calculus' assistant]]. Also counts as a RewatchBonus because one realises this only after reading [[Recap/TintinExplorersOnTheMoon the sequel]] (where nobody comments on this).

Added DiffLines:
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite Captain Haddock's utter hatred for Bianca Castafiore and her rendition of the ''Faust'', he ends up becoming so fascinated by the machinery that is being used to direct the test rocket that he playfully decides to try to sing his own version of the opera. Mr. Baxter is not amused by this.

--->'''Haddock:''' ''(frantically running from an enraged Calculus)'' Help! Help! He's cured!
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: Calculus's RunningGag of being unable to hear people normally is subverted here, with him making use of an ear trumpet and later a proper hearing aid to be able to hear people clearly. He justifies this by pointing out that the Moon mission is ''incredibly'' important and cannot have any room for error, meaning he has to be able to hear instructions from Earth normally.
