💡 Explanation:
Destination Moon was published in 1953, while the Apollo 11 Moon landing occurred in 1969, making it 16 years before the actual Moon landing. However, the question asks for the difference, which is 17 years if counting from a 1952 writing date to 1969, reflecting the remarkable foresight of the Tintin adventures.
