      Rocket science is a tricky one really because it actually refers to loads of different jobs.

      The launch of space shuttles and rockets require design and calculations by hundreds of engineers and scientists, all working together to make sure the rocket is going to fly at the right speed, in the right direction, and not fall apart or explode.

      It would definitely be an exciting thing to go into though, whichever job you choose!

      Rocket Science would be a pretty cool job I’d say….. it would be a very demanding job with a lot of responsibility, but it would be awesome when a shuttle launches into space to be able to say you had a part in getting it up there!
