Guidebook issued for Muslims in space

Malaysia has come up with the world's first comprehensive guidebook for Muslims in space as its first astronaut prepares to go into orbit next week.
The book, entitled Guidelines for Performing Islamic Rites at the International Space Station, teaches the Muslim astronaut how to perform ablutions, determine the location of Mecca when praying, prayer times, and how to fast in space, the Star newspaper reported on Saturday.

Oooook, not much I want to say on this.
I can understand that Muslims need to adhere to their religious beliefs, but that can be said of the other religions, as well.
Basically, whatever man.

Fasting in daylight hours will be pretty tricky as the orbit time is much shorter than the rotation of the Earth. It's like eating every 50 mins...
