Rocket That Exploded

Great mathematician John Von Neumann in consultation with a group that is building an aircraft to send rockets into outer space. When he saw the structure is not complete, he asked,

"Where did you get the design for this ship?"

He said, "We have a staff of its own engineers."

He replied: "Why should wear an engineer, I have completed the mathematical theory of rocket! See my paper in 1952."

The group was finally consulted with reference to the paper in 1952, and create 10 million dollar structure exactly as planned Von Neumann. Once they launch it, the whole structure exploded.

They are angry and met with Von Neumann came back and said: "We follow your instructions as papers that. But when we try, the structure exploded! Why?"

Von Neumann replied, "Ah, yes, technically it is known as a structure explosion problem - I already wrote in my paper of 1954."
