Rocket science is the dumbed down term for Astronautics.To understand Rocket science you must know the definition of Astronautics.

Astronautics, or astronautical engineering, is the branch of aerospace engineering that deals with machines designed to exit or work entirely beyond the Earth's atmosphere. In other words, it is the science and technology of space flight.

Now that you know the definition let's get started on how to understand it. To fully learn rocket science you must have a mastery in the following subjects:
mechanics (fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, orbital mechanics), flight dynamics, physics, mathematics, control engineering, materials science, aeroelasticity, avionics, reliability engineering, noise control and flight test

Now that you know what courses are needed to practice rocket science you can further grasp how hard it it.

To understand rocket science you must have a notable amount of intelligence if your a back-woods hick don't bother you redneck. Also you must be able to grasp the concept of space. You must also have knowledge in ALL the basic courses taught at a school, Mathematics, Sciences, Social Studies, etc. You must also have political knowledge or your beautiful rocket will get shot out of the sky by some angry russians. When you have all that you should be able to understand rocket science.
