Doesnt have to be into upper atmosphere.
Just the science of making rockets and calculating the speed velocity to the weight and stuff. Lots of physics get involved

Fixed.

Doesnt have to be into upper atmosphere.


Makes it sound more fun though.

Aeronautical engineering is one of the most boring engineering fields. Too many numbers involved, not enough crashing things. Although when you get to testing it's pure win.

It would probably be a very boring job, it involves math.

You are never gonna use math unless you get a boring job, which will make it boring-er.

Unless you manage to be the one person that hits the bullseye from a thousand feet away in pouring rain and your project aces all the tests without mishap.

Now that's boring. Crashing things, blowing them up, purposely making wires faulty, that's fun.

All jobs require math.

Except this job is 95% calculus and trigonometry. >.>

Calculus+Trigonometry+No explosions = Complete and utter boredom.

Calculus + trigonometry + huge explosion = welcome to the US Nuclear Missile Program.

Now just take the thermite that cut the car in half and apply it to a 747 and you get win. xD

You forgot one:

Calculus + trigonometry + huge explosion + desert = welcome to the US Nuclear Missile Program.
