|
Announcer: |
Once upon a time, a junk
man had a dream. |
|
Harry: |
I wanna build a space
ship. Go to the Moon. Salvage all the junk
that's up there. Bring it back and sell
it. |
|
Announcer: |
So he put together a team.
An astronaut, a fuel expert. They build a
rocket ship and they went to the moon. Who
knows what they'll do next? |
Harry's spacecraft actually flew to the lunar
surface and salvaged equipment left behind by
the Apollo missions.
Assisting him was former NASA astronaut, Addison
"Skip" Carmichael (Joel Higgins), and rocket
propellant expert Melanie Slozar (Trish Stewart)
who developed the special propulsion fuel,
Monohydrozyne.
