Salvage 1 and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century were two sci-fi series released in the same year, 1979. The USA was still in the grip of Jimmy "malaise" Carter and his presidency and they were probably hoping that the space race would resume under someone like Ronald Reagan who would make American strong again or something like that.
Good thing about Salvage 1 was it didn't take itself very seriously. It knew its limitations, and the viewers knew that. I think Salvage 1 is in need of a reboot, and you can picture it along the lines of going to Mars, although the Mars One mission is covering this with their reality TV style program.
