Although they might find it interesting reading, no blind person is going to be buying the space shuttle parts (literally) that we make.

I believe that this is probably a common attitude, though it is quite prejudiced. It is a perfect example of why the law needs to cover accessibility.

The fact is that a blind people do use the web, they do buy things online and they do use the web for essential employment/business activities - quite possibly including purchasing parts for NASA.

For some good resources on accesibility check out the American Foundation for the Blind (US) and Royal National Institute of the Blind (UK) websites.
