#1 Since it is Ramadan, could he eat all the time since it is space or will he have to peek out the window every bite and sip? or does he go by the time at the launch pad even if the sun is in view? What happens if, by landing back on earth, the astro-not prays less than 5 times in a 24 hour period? What about using the toilet?

But I guess since this trip is happening because of a sidenote in an arms deal 4 years ago and not because of scientific merit, it is just a tourist trip and they can do WTF ever they want. And because there is flexibility in Islam in space, go ahead and have that cosmo while up there. Amazing, all that effort for a space station so a dentist can perform religious experiments.

#4 will he have a mecca-gyroscope to pray to, or will his random Islamo-urgings go off into the space-ether to infect affect other impure civilizations? Should they be killed now or wait? How long til Islamists can perfect space flight without infidel help? 2000 yrs?
