This is a special memory for those of a certain age, who still believed that anything was possible, especially if it is explained in such a way as to be believable.
Imagine a millionaire junk man putting together a spaceship in his junkyard, and with the help of a ex-astronaut and an attractive explosives expert, flies to the moon to salvage the remains of the Apollo missions !!!!
Not that far-fetched really, at least after watching this intelligently-written, imaginative movie.
Star Andy Griffith still shines true as the American 'everyman', a character he perfected after all his years in Mayberry, with a likable supporting cast backing him up.
Joel Higgins is laid back just enough as astronaut Addison "Skip" Carmichael; who has perfected "The Trans-Linear Vector Principle", as a surefire way to get to the moon; and Trish Stewart is great, playing an intelligent, though beautiful woman; whose knowledge of explosives creates the 'super rocket fuel' necessary to bring the project together.
All in all, a GREAT MOVIE that still holds up !!!!
And by the way, IT IS ON HOME VIDEO !!!
I have recently learned that a DVD set featuring the COMPLETE TV series is available, which includes this film, which was the official series pilot.
I have only seen it available on eBay, and is going for top dollar, so check around.
