    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

      I had a job requirement forwarded to me which demands at least 15 years of solid experience in programming with C#. :laugh:

          That's not a valid point, for instance I'm aware about what COM is (well, at least a bit) so I'm well aware it is difficult. :)

                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?

                                          My friend, engineering is nothing but applied science. Yes, rocket science is commonly used term for Aerospace Engineering. :)
