      Hi, yes they are difficult to make and can take anywhere from a few days to a few months depending on what it is used for. I think it is much harder to design and test the rocket than make it as there is a lot of maths and science involved in making a rocket. Actually making it is quite easy as most of the manufacturing is done by machines and we tell the machines what to do.

      Hi, there!

      I guess it is a matter of point of view! In my opinion, making rockets isn’t that hard on a day-to-day basis. Of course, I didn’t get here overnight but after so many years in school and then a few years of professional experience I am able to find the solutions to problems rather quickly (MOST of the time, not always though 🙂 ).

      For comparison, my mom is a nurse and one of my friends is a teacher. Those jobs look far more difficult to me!
