Trivia - By Josh Campbell:
It is a common catch phrase in everyday American language to compare a menial
task with "rocket science." One might say that a task "Isn't
rocket science," to illustrate that the task isn't difficult.
Also, ordinary persons, including the news/media, commonly call persons who design spacecraft or launch vehicles a "rocket scientist." This is by definition a false and contradictory statement. A scientist by definition is not a part of the design process. Engineers are. People that work on the design of spacecraft, aircraft, and rockets are professionally called "Aerospace Engineers." These persons hold degrees in an engineering discipline, not a science discipline.
So the next time you hear someone say "rocket
science," prove your smarts and correct them.
Rocket Science = Aerospace Engineering
