Rocket Science

Science is not engineering.

 

Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific methods to include the development of theories, the derivation of mathematical formulations, or the research of these theories and derivations, which provides an organized body of scientific knowledge containing the natural laws and physical resources gained through such research.

 

Engineering refers to the discipline and profession that applies scientific knowledge in order to design and implement materials, structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes that realize a desired objective and meet specified criteria.

 

Therefore:  Rocket Science is not Aerospace Engineering

 

Rocket science is a discipline and profession that involves the development of new theories, the derivation of new mathematical formulations, or the research of new concepts derived from these theories and derivations toward providing scientific knowledge that can be used by aerospace engineers.
