From: crash!bnw@SDCSVAX.ARPA >Wasn't there a tv series (Starring Andy Griffith?) about a space parts >collector that made his own rockets based on (very loosely) on Truax? Yes, about three years ago on (I think) NBC. Andy Griffith starred in a TV movie and short-run series called "Salvage." He played the *rich* owner of a very big scale salvage company. He decided (in the pilot) to salvage the stuff NASA left on the moon, built a ship (using NASA rejects and left-overs), and did so. A little shakey on the science here and there, but enjoyable, I thought. The series did not live up to the pilot, and died. /Bruce N.
