Background on any of the rocket part companies?

I have just recently started a story, and in it Probadobadyne is lead by Bill and is named after the Kreek god of Productivity. Anyone else like to relate their ideas about where these companies come from?

Sure. From my own story:

Jeb's Junkyard and Spacecraft Parts Company.

The place where it all began. Kicked out of the Kerbin Institute for Aeronautical Research (popularly known simply as The Institute) for wasting time and money on ridiculous flights of fancy, Jeb, his research supervisor Wernher and a group of like-minded enthusiasts (the self-styled Kerbin Interplanetary Society) set up the Junkyard to support and finance their rocket building ambitions. A smart young kerbal named Geneney Kerman had the bright idea of bidding on a recycling contract for the Institute which turned out to be an excellent way of obtaining a lot of good (if slightly worn) second hand equipment and parts.

After many, many trials and tribulations, the KIS finally managed to build a crewed sub-orbital rocket. Jeb, Bill and Bob's pioneering first flight aboard the Kerbal 1 only reached an altitude of 36km - but that was enough. Bill's photographs of his homeworld from high altitude sparked a media sensation - and the beginnings of the Space Age on Kerbin.

Rockomax Inc

"Think better - think bigger."

The Speciality Fireworks Company, was already a successful company owned and managed by Ademone Kerman, ham radio enthusiast and amateur astronomer. Inspired by Kerbin's first ever artificial satellite, the KIS launched Kerbin 1, Ademone transformed her company into Rockomax Inc - and set out on a road that would reach further than she would ever have dreamed.

Probodyne Systems

Probodyne (nicknamed Probodobodyne by certain irrepressible employees), was a non-governmental organisation set up by the newly formed Kerbin Space Agency. Specialising in robotic probes, Probodyne was tasked with nothing less than exploring the entire Kerbol system. The reasons - and dire need - for that task were to be kept a closely guarded secret...
