What is the policy regarding alcohol consumption during rocket preparation or launch?

The strict policy regarding alcohol consumption during rocket preparation or launch is designed to ensure the highest levels of safety and professionalism in an environment where precision and focus are critical. The operation of rockets involves complex technical processes where any lapse in concentration or judgment can lead to catastrophic consequences. Therefore, the prohibition of alcohol at all times during these activities is intended to eliminate any risk associated with impaired decision-making or reduced situational awareness. This policy aligns with industry standards and safety protocols to maintain the integrity of the launch preparations and the personnel involved. Ensuring that all team members are in an optimal state of mind is fundamental, especially during high-stakes operations like rocket launches.
