* ColdEquation: Since oxygen becomes a problem fairly soon in this story, this dilamma pops up in the second part of the book. Jorgen wants to solve it by eliminating everyone except Wolff and him, Tintin is [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim dead set against it]] even if [[HonorBeforeReason it means their deaths]], and Wolff sacrifices himself for this very reason.

* DelayedReaction: It takes one of the Thompsons a few panels to realise that Haddock insulted them by comparing them to clowns (Punch and Judy men in the English versions). It takes also some time for him to realise that Haddock did not apologise (see BackhandedApology above), but he is interrupted before he can complete his thought.

It's not Jorgen the trope is talking about — the Thom(p)sons were found shortly after launch, when there was still time to easily land.

* ArtisticLicenseSpace: The rocket carries a landing vehicle, in this case a presurized tank with its own airlock, but it is such a heavy and cumbersome thing that it doesn't even fit in the rocket and has to be cobbled together from pieces (itself an engineering feat that is left sadly offscreen, with a bit of {{Hammerspace}} thrown in), making it very unlikely that a real life space agency would have wanted to include such thing in their very first trip.

** Discovering there were two accidental stowaways (which is by itself a jarring circumstance) would have been enough to abort a real life space mission and force them to return to Earth. In this particular case, with their fictional spaceship being a nuclear-powered SSTO, the decision would have been even more reasonable given that the logistic expenses of a brief return and a second takeoff would have been minimal. But that, of course, would have removed all the drama from the story.

The mission isn't controlled by the military, so Artistic License Military obviously doesn't reply. Immediately after they discovered Jorgen, the rocket needed repairs, so returning immediately wasn't an option.
