| #22 Do you have to pray five times every 90 minutes if you are a muslim in space? :-) |

| #18 First: I covered the prayer to Mecca thing from space in a fatwa I wrote and posted some months ago. I am presently working on a fatwa covering Muslim behavior in the close presence of Black Holes. Second: What type of useful work is the International Space Station doing right now. Inquiring minds and wallets want to know. |

| #17 Dress code; in space? must be covered between the navel and the knees? that leaves a very unappetizing visual of nekkid muzzies floating around. and second question: who wants to be the ground crewman that gets to wash their flight suits (especially the left glove) after they get back???? goat tending is indeed the best alternative. |

| #13 Why do I keep thinking of the keystone cops when they try to point to Mecca and pray in zero g? |

| #12 If the Russians draw a little piggy picture on the package of Space Food Sticks, does that make them non-halal? And, how are they going to be sure their heads and not their butts are pointed towards Mecca when they are circling the earth in zero G? |

| #11 I think the main guideline should be prayer. Considering they have to pray at sunup and sundown and several times in between, that's about all they'll have time for in orbit. |

| #10 I think the main guideline should be prayer. Since the only way a malasian muslim is going into orbit is by catapult, prayer seems about right. |

| #9 That's the comedy for today. Forget astronuts, just concentrate on enlarging your goat herds. |

| #8 Strap them down into these. It's the only way to ensure their butts don't point to mecca. |

| #7 Wow! That Malaysian space program is really ahead of its time. |

| #3 Space Food Sticks? Halal? Not halal? I gotta know... |
