Meaning of IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE - A Really Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in English when we say, "It's not rocket science."

We actually mean that it's really, really easy.

A good example would be maybe the tire on your car needs to be pumped up and you don't

really know how to do it.

So you ask a friend, "Hey!

How do you pump a tire up on a car?"

Your friend would probably say, "Well you go to the gas station or the service station

and you put some money in the air pump and then you hook the hose up to your tire and

you pump it until it is full of air.

It's not rocket science."

So basically what they're saying there is that, that job is actually fairly easy to

do and you can use this for a lot different things.

So someone might ask, "How do you wash the dishes?"

And you could say, "You put some water in the sink.

You put some soap in the sink, and then you wash the dishes.

It's not rocket science."
