Take it from those who know: Rocket science doesn’t mean either building rockets or being an astronaut. It doesn’t mean being born wearing thick glasses and holding a calculator. And it certainly doesn’t mean something impossible to understand.

Real-life rocket scientists specialize in the different elements of sending a spacecraft into space from its path to its fuel to fixing the problems it might have. Then these experts work together to make space flight happen.
