Trivia / Tintin: Explorers on the Moon

• Completely Different Title: The original French title is On a marché sur la Lune (We Walked on the Moon).
• Executive Meddling: The Catholic clergy who were Hergé's editors required him to add a final line to Wolff's suicide note: "Perhaps by some miracle I will survive as well," in order to avoid making it look like he was committing suicide. The possibility of Wolff's survival is of course hopeless.
• Science Marches On: Debatable example when Tintin finds ice in a crevasse—for a long time it was thought there was no ice on the moon, but more recently this has been called into question again. Still, any ice on the moon could only exist buried underground and intimately mixed with rock; open ice in a cave, as depicted in the book, is unlikely.
