Harry Broderick (Andy Griffith), owns the Jettison Scrap and Salvage Company, a specialist in reclaiming trash and junk in order to sell that as scrap. However, his dream is to recover equipment left on the moon during Apollo Program missions. With that purpose, he invites former astronaut Addison "Skip" Carmichael (Joel Higgins) and NASA fuel expert Melanie "Mel" Slozar (Trish Stewart) and establishes a team. He builds a spaceship called Vulture completely made of junk and powered by a chemical called mono-hydrazine. The main body of Vulture is composed of a Texaco gasoline Semi-trailer with cement mixer as the capsule. This is augmented with three shorter rocket boosters placed 120 degrees around the main tank. Estes Rockets made a prototype of a model rocket version of the Vulture.
