First couple of years of my working life I did FEM analysis for a small but exquisite aerospace engineering firm in Germany. We were as far away from any launch in the whole development chain as on can imagine. Yet all kinds of people found us by the company name and called with a wide variety of space related questions. Amongst them a fair share of wierdos, but not only. Once a lovely old lady called because she needed help organizing a trip for her and her husband to watch a space shuttle launch as a birthday present for him. Unfortunately I could not help her but I really hope her plan panned out.
