Now, in my experience, receiving information, themes, pictures etc... from these shows as an adult merely serves to ruin the memory as a child, but as no-one else has any recollection whatsoever, here I am.

I could not properly remember the name of the show but I was talking to a friend who couldn't remember it at all, then I found this site called epguides.com (or something) and went through their a-z of tv shows, this linked me to the IMDB which sent me here. All the information I could ever have hoped for, it was the "Dry Spell" episode that I remembered the most, odd really given that it wasn't even shown in the US (I obviously didn't know that until now). Anyway, thanks again for making this little kid remember a show that he loved. "

Wow! What can I say the many others haven't said already! I was 9-years-old when the pilot first aired. It was the first and last time that I saw it. I loved every minute of it. I tried to catch as many episodes as I could after that but I certainly didn't see every episode. I'd love to see Salvage 1 again. The Sci-Fi channel should show this series!
I think it's unfortunate that some people have written to you saying that the concept is farfetched. I guess they just don't pay much attention to space science news. Back in the mid-nineties there was a SSTO (single-stage-to-orbit) test vehicle called the Delta Clipper built using old discarded SDI technology (not parts, that I’m aware of anyway). And it actually worked! It was just an atmospheric test vehicle but it could take off, hover and then land again on it's tail. No parachutes necessary!
Now there is a whole new generation of private rocket companies developing SSTO systems in an attempt to cash in on the growing need to put satellite payloads into space at a lower cost. If you think the Vulture is wacky, then take a look at this: http://www.rotaryrocket.com/videogallery.html

The Rotary Rocket Company’s Roton is the farthest along and has the most money behind it. Now the Vulture doesn’t seem all that crazy, does it?

Speaking of the Vulture, check out this proposed design:
http://www.tgv-rockets.com/

Notice any similarities in design? Take special note of the striking resemblance of the Michelle Bravo capsule to the Vulture’s. Even it's dimensions are similar.

You can find out more about what’s happening in the world of private space technology at the X-Prize website:
http://www.xprize.org/

As you can see, there may be a few people out there that took the show a little more seriously than some of the other viewers. The Vulture may never fly but something very much like it (if not in design at least in spirit) may in the near future!
I just downloaded your 3-d animations of the Vulture fly-bys. They are so cool! Imagine that, somebody doing some quicky animations in their spare time with free, off the shelf software and getting better results than the orginal FX in the series! And people think the idea behind the Vulture is crazy!

"I was in one of my more nostalgic moods the other day and while I was reminiscing I started to think about TV shows from my youth. I vaguely remembered a show called "Salvage" that had appeared for only a brief time and which had really stuck in my mind. Looking back I couldn't remember who starred in the show, only that it had something to do with a spaceship built out of scrap. I was only 8 years old when the show first aired, so I don't think I knew who Andy Griffith was at the time. But I was at an age where I was fascinated by space and science fiction and the idea that just anyone might build a spacship out of junk really captured my imagination. Anyhow, I decided to do a search on the Net and was impressed when your site came up. It is nice to see that not all fleeting experiences are swiftly forgotten, and I commend you on your wonderful tribute. Although I suspect that the show's thin credibility probably would not fly any better in today's TV market than it did back then, I do feel that it was one of the more imaginative shows ever conceived and it certainly left a lasting impression on me. Thanks for the memories! "

"I have fond memories of the original Salvage pilot. The series that followed was sometimes good and sometimes forgettable, but I will always remember the movie. And I only saw it once in my life. It's a simple story: a little man has a big dream, and does whatever is in his power to attain it. Most of us work 9-5, trudge home, and kick back with a beer in front of the TV. We all had dreams when we were kids. Where did they go? So when I see somebody reaching for his dream, with both hands, I give him three cheers - even if he is just a character in a made-for-TV movie. Thank you for your web page dedicated to this movie and series. "

"When I first saw your site, I couldn't believe that anyone actually remembered "Salvage I" and cared enough to make such a wonderful website dedicated to it. I remember watching "Salvage I" when it was originally on in the late 1970s, and then TBS used to run the two hour pilot movie in the late 1980s. As good as it was, and I don't mean to insult you, or your fine website, but I feel I have to say that the concept for this series was quite farfetched...and I guess its hypocritical of me to say that since i have a website dedicated to the Jupiter 2 from Lost In Space. Salvage I, from what I remember of it, was during that era of such classic programming as "BJ and the Bear," and "The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo," etc...and so I don't have quite the same fondness for tv series from that era...while I thought the original tv movie was okay for its time, I don't think it quite holds up today, or would hold up today, and it certainly isn't something Andy Griffith remembers very fondly either. However, I did think your 3d work of "the Vulture" was really quite impressive."

"Thank you for having a site dedicated to one of my favorite TV shows... My Salvage 1 memory is the scene in "Operation Breakout." I had these on audio tapes so I remember every one. There is a scene where Harry, Mel and Skip break out of a jail cell to rescue Jack Kinger. They get to the edge of the compound only to find it crawling with troops and dignitaries to witness Jack's execution. And the miracle happens.... They walk out into the compound singing "Amazing Grace." No one fires a shot, no one reacts. It was like the angels were watching over them. I didn't get emotional about it at the time, but nowadays, when I am sentimental, I do. I can remember that scene, and it brings tears to my eyes... I love this site and plan to visit it again. I enjoy the 3d renderings of the Vulture and wish that somehow the series would be revived. Interesting that since the series premiered, we still have not gone back to the moon. Almost the same cynicism exists about the space program and given the recent failures of the past months with the Mars Polar Lander and the orbiter that was to accompany it. Thank you again for having such a great site and putting such thought and effort into bringing back one of my treasured memories of my childhood...Oh I forgot to mention. I was in Oklahoma City about 15 years ago and I drove by a salvage yard and I looked and saw an F-84 fighter in the yard and I couldn't help but think of this show. It was so interesting. I could not help but think of this dose of reality for my favorite TV show."

Strange what sticks in your mind! As I grew up I occasionally mentioned Salvage 1 in discussions about old TV programmes. NOBODY had ever heard of it!!! Now I know from all your messages that I am not alone - many people have also had this frustrating experience! Can anyone confirm when the show was screened here in the UK? I guess it must have been around 1979/80? I wonder if I will ever see it again - and would it be as good as I remember?!!!"

"You did not include me in the list of credits. I shot all the VULTURE miniature shots for the series with my own special effects system which I still have. Most episodes had to have all the shots done in a week, which was unheard of at the time. I worked for Castle and Bryant who designed the titles and I got screen credit on several episodes. You have a shot from the title sequence that looks like the one I shot as a test to show the producers on Christmas Eve 1978. They used it. I also did several other shows including SPACE ACADEMY, BUCK ROGERS, and movies like...BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, SPACE CHASE. I have production photos of my special effects setup for SALVAGE and stills of me with the VULTURE. I also have a videotape of most of the effects I did for GOLDEN ORBIT which was largely shot with front projection and not bluescreen as most people thought ( saving 20,000 dollars).

I remember having a wonderful conversation with Mike Lloyd Ross. I was about ten, and called Columbia studios and asked to be put through.

I also got copies of the entire musical score, I was trying to get my then High School band to play the theme (Which I always thought was a good tune). I know I still have that stuff, though god knows where. Also, waaay back when at a San Diego Comic Con, There was a guy there who had the actual flag that was used to fly on the moon... the prop flag. I had it in my hands, and was ready to turn the money over, but decided against it... $85 was a lot of money to me at that time! Of course now, I hate myself for not buying it. Plus, I remember actually seeing the vulture several times, they had it stored in a back lot for a while, and you could see it pretty clearly. Then they dissassembled it for the Iceberg episode, and didn't put it back together... or so I hear.

"Great site. I did not expect anyone to create such an elaborate website for a show that vanished after only a few episodes nearly 20 years ago. Every so often I search the web for an obscure show I'm not sure anyone else remembers, and I usually get a pleasant surprise, but this one really blew me away."

"I think I've always remembered Salvage I because I grew up poor and had to hunt around for parts and make do for anything I wanted. Sure, being a poor kid isn't that great, but the figuring out and hunting around was kind of fun. Which brings me to my great Salvage I type story. (I am very proud of this)
At work (A library) we are expanding into a new building. With a new building we get new shelving, including some shelving with verticle dividers in it to separate loose magazines. Well, when I saw the old shelving being thrown out, I ask for, and got, permission to salvage the verticle dividers (Plastic panels, good stuff.) I knew I could sell them to American Science (1,800 of them). AmerSci offered me a ridiculously low offer for them. So I found another company that paid me a decent amount for them. The punchline? I sold the plastic panles to the company that is manufacturing the NEW shelving for our library."

"I have fond memories of Salvage 1, and discovering your web site was a real delite. I was in 7th grade when Salvage 1 was on television, and it quickly captured my imagination and aspirations. I've been searching the web for 2 years now, and your website is the first to meet my needs as a Salvage 1 fan.
Its been a while, but I do remember certain episodes of Salvage 1 such as the initial movie, the episode with the old car with something (a map?) in the tailpipe, the haunted house episode, and the iceberg/rocket engine episode. But I only remember faint details of the episodes."

"I've thought of this show many times over the years. My fondest dream is that one day I might make it into space." "Thanks for the great site - it sure brought back those memories and a great big smile!"

"I just visited your site and let me say Yippee! I never thought that I would find anyone that remembered that show as much as I did. As a kid that show meant the world to me. I even wrote to Andy Griffith and he wrote me back. I grew up an abused child and used television as an escape. I loved this show so much that I built a miniature replica of the Jettison Salvage Scrap yard...I also built a replica of the Vulture. I hooked it up to some fishing wire and a reel so it would fly. Back then I didn't have a VCR so I would tape the show on audio cassettes and then reenact the episodes in my junkyard. I even made the satellite Telcom so the team could go and Salvage-1 it. I still have every TV Guide add for the show. The saddest day came when, in a rage my mother threw me into the miniature and destroyed most of it. The Vulture never flew again. Luckily I got passed all that and grew up and out of that life. I am an actor currently working at Universal Studios. And years ago when I started there as a Tour Guide I met Andy Griffith on the lot at the old Viacom offices. He was rather impressed and confused that anyone remembered that show. ...this is by far one of the best sites I've seen. And thank you again for this slice of my childhood."
Many thanks,
