Seemingly funny but quite genuine questions to the Imam for a Muslim in space. For e.g. "When you're a Muslim in orbit, how do you determine which way Mecca is and how often you need to pray?"
The facts are:
"The ISS is more than 200 miles from the Earth's surface and orbits the earth every ninety-two minutes, or roughly sixteen times a day. Do we have to worship eighty times a day (sixteen orbits a day multiplied by five prayer times)?"
What do the Imams have to say for this?
