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.
