Yep...I guess we’ll have to retrofit the space station with a Muslim foot washing station. It’ll only cost a few billion more, which the taxpayer will have no vote in paying.

And they wonder why Islamic countries have remained so backward.

Trick question. Islam will never have a space program and if someone is that devout a muslim, he wont make it past the psycho screening for astronauts that functional cultures put into space.

Spin the spacecraft around at 30,000 rpm. He'll face mecca 500 times every second.
That should do the trick.

Vaporize Mecca, distribute it about the Earth’s atmosphere, then it should be easier for Ramsey Al-Kaboom to find it from space.

They have all been answered by a team of Islamic scholars and scientists that has spent more than a year working on guidelines for the astronaut.Wait until the guy figures out that they were too busy figuring this out and didn't spend enough time developing a zero-G toilet for him.

Maybe they could find a god that wasn't so damn finicky.
Just a thought.

Space travel is for advanced people. If such trivial sh*t is on your mind while you are cruising at thousands of miles per hour in the vacuum of space...you have no business being there.

HOW do you pray facing Mecca five times a day when you are circling the Earth 16 times every 24 hours?
Easy, spin the person like a satellite and tell them to keep praying until they land back on earth.
To: dirtboy
I had some comments to make about this, but those of you who’ve already commented have said it all!
