"The engineer does not study engineering because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in men, and he delights in them because they are beautiful." - Brunel

Three engineers and three scientists are travelling by train to a conference. At the station, the three scientists each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a scientist. "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer. They all board the train. The scientists take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.
Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.
The scientists saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the scientists decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all). When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.
To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one perplexed scientist.
"Watch and you'll see," answered an engineer. When they board the train the three scientists cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs.
Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the scientists are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."

Link me to a source and I might not think you're batshit crazy. Terraforming a planet would probably take from between 500 to well over a thousand years, even with magic infinite power sources and no limit on resources

>"Engineering is quite different from science. Scientists try to understand nature. Engineers try to make things that do not exist in nature. Engineers stress invention. To embody an invention the engineer must put his idea in concrete terms, and design something that people can use. That something can be a device, a gadget, a material, a method, a computing program, an innovative experiment, a new solution to a problem, or an improvement on what is existing. Since a design has to be concrete, it must have its geometry, dimensions, and characteristic numbers. Almost all engineers working on new designs find that they do not have all the needed information. Most often, they are limited by insufficient scientific knowledge. Thus they study mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and mechanics. Often they have to add to the sciences relevant to their profession. Thus engineering sciences are born." - Foundations of Solid Mechanics
