Moon Rocket

A rocket painted with a red and white, checkered pattern was present in 1991 on a Treen colony which the first seven incarnations of the Doctor visited during a Multi-Doctor event to give assistance to Dan Dare.

The same rocket was featured on the cover of the The Adventures of Tintin book Explorers on the Moon, alongside Tintin, a bearded individual, and a dog on the Moon. (WC: Untitled 3 ^[+]Loading...["Untitled 3 (2021 Paul Magrs webcast)"])

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

• This rocket is identical to the Moon Rocket from The Adventures of Tintin. Tintin was mentioned by name, as a fictional character known as such in the 21st century, in the Torchwood episode A Day in the Death ^[+]Loading...["A Day in the Death (TV story)"], with obviously no connection drawn to the obscure 1991 comic which had implied that Tintin was instead, in some fashion, a real individual who had once visited the DWU or may even be native to it. The rocket later appeared on the cover of Explorers on the Moon in an untitled webcast ^[+]Loading...{"noital":"1","1":"Untitled 3 (2021 Paul Magrs webcast)","2":"untitled webcast"} featuring Panda.
