He'd literally have to spend all of his time in orbit praying.

In all seriousness, I'm sure his cleric would tell him to just follow the regular 24 hour clock-time and face Mecca as best he can.

What about Iran and Afghanistan then?

We'd better throw them in for good measure so that people don't accuse us of racism.

Some years ago a Saudi prince was on the space shuttle and this problem needed to be addressed. The top Wahabi clerics got together to discuss mindful that they may be setting a precedent for all Muslims in the future. From what I remember their solution was this: He only needed to pray three times a day (presumably every 8 hours) and he only needed to face the earth. This would apply wherever a Muslim would happen to be in space (earth orbit, the moon, Mars, another star, etc.).

Damned activist clerics, transforming Islam with their heretical yet sensible views.

Been there, done that.

First a joke
The first 3-man space shuttle came splashing down and the ship the U.S.S. Seagull picked up the capsule.

The first man who got out of the capsule was Protestant and his minister asked him, "How was it, my son?" The Protestant astronaut answered with a big healthy smile, "It was truly a great experience."

The second man was Catholic and when he emerged from the capsule his priest blessed him and asked him, "In the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost --How was it?" He replied, "It was fabulous, Father!"

The third man was Jewish and with great effort left the space ship. He was still huffing and puffing as his Rabbi came up to him and asked, "How come -- nu, what happened? The other two astronauts came out composed and refreshed -- and you, nu?"

The Jewish astronaut answered, breathing heavily, "Every 90 minutes, Shacharit-mincha-ma'ariv, Shacharit-mincha-ma'ariv!" "


Actually when an observant Jew did go up, the rabbis said he should pray and follow shabbos based on the time in the place on earth he was from.
