What is the minimum age recognized by Tripoli for a certified solid propellant high power rocket motor user?

The Tripoli Rocketry Association stipulates that individuals must be at least 18 years old to be certified users of solid propellant high power rocket motors. This age requirement is in place to ensure that users have reached a level of maturity and responsibility appropriate for safely handling high power rocketry, which involves both technical knowledge and awareness of safety practices. By setting the minimum age at 18, Tripoli aligns with legal adulthood in many regions, where individuals are deemed capable of making informed decisions and understanding the implications of their actions, particularly in potentially hazardous activities like high power rocketry.
