Salvage operator Harry Broderick buys and sells scrap as well as electronics, aircraft, and other equipment. Harry constantly has grandiose schemes to make money, sometimes not completely honestly. In the pilot, his dream is to recover equipment left on the Moon during Apollo Program missions, for he believes the salvage value will make it a worthwhile venture. In the show's opening title narration, Harry states: "I wanna build a spaceship, go to the Moon, salvage all the junk that's up there, bring it back, sell it."
