"Hergé, the Belgian cartoonist behind The Adventures of Tintin, published Destination Moon and its sequel Explorers on the Moon in the early 1950s, a good fifteen years before Neil Armstrong ever set foot on the lunar surface."
"The LEGO Ideas Tintin Moon Rocket (Set #21367) is available now, priced at $159.99, and it is exactly as satisfying as you'd want it to be."
"The set includes six figures, Tintin, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, the twin detectives Thomson and Thompson, all in detailed space suits with helmets and oxygen tanks, plus Snowy."
Hergé's Tintin series featured a scientifically accurate depiction of a moon landing in the 1950s, well before the actual event in 1969. He consulted with space experts and created a detailed rocket model, showcasing a vision of lunar exploration. LEGO has now created a set based on this rocket, consisting of 1,283 bricks and priced at $159.99. The set includes six figures in space suits and features a removable panel revealing a control room, emphasizing thoughtful design and detail.
