The printed version of this story is much better than this audio version.

Wow this was a surprisingly sophisticated science-fiction thriller! I was surprised how science-driven it was, and educational considering the time it was written. Hergé clearly cared about accuracy when writing his story (though his zero-g physics were a little loop). The primary plot was about oxygen supply. There are some really dramatic, character-defining moments for the characters, and the best part-- Calculus has a hearing aid so we actually get him to be a character as opposed to a walking spoonerism gag. Top-notch Tintin.

Much as I enjoyed this as a child, the science - and the implausible stage-free rocket - limit how positive I can feel about it now.
