Computers or Rockets: Quem?

Hey all, a little background: I'm a freshman at MIT and run linux (just a note). Anyways, I am equally torn between two majors (EECS and aero/astro engineering) and thought I'd come and pool for a l33tness factor purely out of curiosity lol. Here it goes then:

Which do you think is cooler/l33ter/shibbier/etc and why, computer science or rocket science?

Discuss ^_^

I assume this is for your future job/vocation? I'm in college right now too and I would suggest trying to get into something that you enjoy. Whether or not a job is "cool" or not doesn't matter that much if you don't like going to work everyday. I know a lot of people who don't like their job and are stuck in it. Take some classes and figure out which one you enjoy more.

Yeah i agree with firefly2442..you need to find what you want to do

but that said...you could do a combination of both, double major
but which ones cooler..I'd say aero/astro engineering is cooler (it also has a more meaningful future, mars, etc..), but thats prbbly because i just saw a movie on it (some kids from coalwood, on showtime build rockets..+ one of later worked for nasa...true story..forgot the name of the movie)

Yeah, I wasn't asking for people to decide what I should major in and obviously I wouldn't bring this up if I didn't like both of them. Anyways, I was just looking for opinions other than "see for yourself" and "do what you like". Thanks and noted for the future.
