Not exactly rocket science.

No, civil engineering - much harder!


But something civil engineers have been doing for decades. I agree that
rocket science is easy, it's rocket technology that's complicated.

As an undergrad, I had to live with a couple of civil engineer undergrads
too. They would frequently use the expression "It's not rocket science!" -
until one day they had to do coursework on matlab. It was completely beyond
one of them, and the expression was rapidly changed to "It's not matlab!"

Given that with the exception of the Begal Martian probe they can send
something into deep space over many years and it function correctly
then the saying should be changed to "it isn't Goverment IT contract
science".
