      Hi bugsie,

      there is not really an age requirement, if you’re smart enough to built a rocket you can go, there is no passport control at 100km…

      In general if you do it the ‘normal’ way, for astronaut selection they focus on people from 27-37, and then it takes quite a few years of training before you can go.
