It's been 50 years since Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon. This, however, was 16 years after Tintin, the well-loved comic character created by Georges Remi, landed there. Remi, better known by his pen name Hergé, was ahead of his time and this wasn't the only thing he got right. "Tintin landed there on a rocket, one that looked quite similar to the actual one," explains Jenaisha Periera, economic affairs and public diplomacy officer at the Belgian Consulate.

To commemorate these anniversaries and in light of the launch of ISRO's Chandrayaan 2 this year, the Consulate is organising a seminar, Tintin and the Moon. Conceptualised as an educational yet fun and interactive session for teenagers especially, the seminar will screen the six-part documentary, Tintin and the Moonwalker.
