Using the computer doesn't take rocket science but knowing it's intricacies might.

Funny thing is, I have a cousin who IS a rocket scientist. He's absolutely brilliant but without a lick of common sense. We keep telling his 5th wife she's going straight to heaven for putting up with him.

My child has a doctorate in physics. To me, that's rocket science.

Most everything else isn't, even though it can seem like it is Lol.

It's not rocket science means to me "This isn't difficult."

Making a peanut butter sandwich is not rocket science.

I worked at a DOD facility that was populated by real rocket scientists (EEs, Physicists, Mathematicians).  Very bright people but frequently no common sense.

I use that phrase.  It means that something is so clear and easy to understand that you should not have to think about it.

Yes, it is a silly question.  More stupid than silly though.

Well I don't even understand what the original post is trying to say. So I guess to me that is rocket science...? Completely beyond my ken.
