Do you know what it feels like to bend over your science book with your eyebrows in a bunch?

Science can be hard. Wouldn’t it be nice if it was easy instead? Wouldn’t it be nice if rocket science didn’t have to be, well, rocket science?

Think about what it takes to get a rocket into space. First of all, a rocket needs fuel. Second, a rocket is heavy. How can you fill a heavy rocket with heavy fuel, and expect it to fly up beyond the sky? The answer makes things harder: You have to add more fuel. Is your brain sizzling yet?

In October 2014, a spacecraft designed to transport non-astronaut tourists into space crashed. Soon after, Yale Physics professor Meg Urry said crashes like this aren’t new. Spaceships have been exploding ever since their invention, she told CNN. That’s part of how technology develops.

Rockets are complex machines. Taking them into space, where conditions are totally different from Earth, just makes things harder. The best scientists in the world struggle to make that work!

When God created the universe, He wove scientific laws into everything. Learning how those laws work is no easy task. You have to make calculations. You have to experiment. That’s hard—but it’s also good. It shows us the fingerprints of God.
