What is the policy on alcohol consumption during the preparation or launching of high power rockets?

The policy regarding alcohol consumption during the preparation or launching of high-power rockets emphasizes safety and responsibility. Alcohol consumption is never permitted in these contexts due to the precision, focus, and sobriety required for both the preparation of the rocket and the actual launch process. High-power rocketry involves complex tasks that necessitate clear judgment, enhanced coordination, and acute awareness of the surrounding environment to ensure the safety of all participants and bystanders.

Allowing alcohol at any stage—before, during, or after preparation and launching—could impair an individual's ability to make critical decisions and respond effectively to any emergencies or unexpected situations that may arise. Therefore, the policy promotes a completely sober environment to uphold safety standards.
