Is rocket science possible sans science? Can you be more specific what engineering without dependency on any science is? Like how do you even approach inventing gps as an engineer if 80% of physics calculations don’t actually work for example?

Almost all of what is called "rocket science" is firmly in the engineering wheelhouse.

GPS relies very little on 20th century science, beyond GR corrections.

The science behind orbital mechanics is just Newton's Laws, stuff thoroughly settled centuries ago.
