If you want to impress me, explain rocket motor performance in terms of the principles thermodynamic and fluid dynamics. Please factor in the affects of particulate masses of various combustion byproducts for the fuel/oxidizer of your choice.
Spelling and grammar are not even remotely an indication of intelligence. Most engineers can't spell worth a crap; however, they can land vehicles on Mars.

Why would I try to explain something I’ve never studied and know very little about. And who said I wanted to impress you?
“Spelling and grammar are not even remotely an indication of intelligence.”
Definitely wrong. Intelligence is the ability to absorb, assimilate and retain information and knowledge, which means intelligence is directly related to a person’s ability to learn anything, including tie your shoelaces. Not being able to learn spelling and grammar - or worse, ignoring them - is an indication of lesser intelligence capability.
“Most engineers can’t spell worth a crap;...”
I find it humorous that I’m still seeing people trot out the engineer defense after almost 20 years pointing out spelling and grammar deficiencies online...The same would go for architect, but I suspect most can’t spell it.
A person can go through college with a C average and still be an engineer. Which equates to an IQ (Intelligence Quotient, the ability to assimilate knowledge) of around 85 to 90. Genius is 120.

And here I was thinking it was NASA that did that...silly me...
I’ve always wondered how many of those engineers’ brilliant ideas were sent back because they couldn’t possibly be actually manufactured. I know how many times I had to make custom cutting tools in 8 years as a machinist because some brilliant engineer drew something on paper that no standard cutting tool made would do.
