Quotes:

Narrator:[opening narration] Once upon a time, a junkman had a dream.
Harry Broderick:I want to build a spaceship, go to the moon, salvage all the junk that's up there, bring it back, sell it.
Narrator:So he put together a team. An ex-astronaut. A fuel expert. They built a rocketship, and they went to the moon. Who knows what they'll do next.

Movie Connections:

Follows "Salvage 1: Salvage (#1.0)" (1979)

fun creative show....short lived program

The pilot dealt with a salvage firm building a space craft to go to the moon made from junk parts. SALVAGE 1 was about a salave firm that would go anywhere, anytime to salvage something....even to the moon to get old apollo program gear. A great idea for a string of tv movies but it ran out of gas as a tv show. Still as a boy it lit the fires of my imagination the way Buster Crabbe serials did in my grandfathers.
