    The Astronaut Farmer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469263/),
    or Andy Griffith in Salvage 1 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078681/)?

    (See also .)

    I do enjoy rockets myself...albeit on a much smaller scale...thanks for the links.
    But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.---Psalm 50:16-17
