    Usually people use "It's not a rocket science" as term to express not so difficult things. Just wondering what would a Senior Aerospace Engineer use a term to mention that it is a simple thing for his subordinate?

    It depends on your knowledge of Lettuce and other Brassicas. Of course one has studied the Brassica Triangle and it's inherent Polyploidal properties, including the three allopolyploids and the three diploids (which, incidentally make it an Aneuploidal organism, because it's monoploid number (x) and it's haploid number (n) are not equal, and are not in homologous pairings). Eruca sativa[^] is a marvellous plant and should have more studies made. As you can see, I am a Rocket Scientist. :)

      Since I live near the Johnson Space Center, I run into "rocket scientists" all the time. One time at a radio club meeting, someone said something about "anyone can do it, it's not rocket science." One of the guys, who is an astrophysicist replied, "But rocket science is the one thing I can do." ;P

            And...surprisingly...you have two +5 votes (with no 1s).... :)

            The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick Visit the Hindi forum here.

                                      "Rocket science" is not science, it's engineering.

                                      It's time for a new signature.
