i don't know...but I'd love to hear what someone thinks IT is.

 

What isn't "rocket science" to you?  Silly question I know....

I think IT is easy....not hard to figure out or understand.  What do you think IT is?

Perhaps IT is plain old common sense, and so, in that case, now-a-days, it just may be rocket science!

That expression goes back...50?...years. It's not rocket science to figure out it's meaning.

I think @Harpa has it right.  Actually, very right.  

 

I guess, just common sense.

I think really the only people who can legitimately tout this phrase are those who actually build rockets. Now THAT'S what I'd call the real science.

Many times the phrase, it doesn't take a rocket scientist.... is substituted for.......it doesn't take a brain surgeon....

I don't think the OP was asking for the definition of the phrase.

 

I think she was asking for an example where people use the phrase.

 

It's not rocket science. Cat Tongue

 

She already said it was a silly question.
