Saya garis bawahi kalimat ini:
"And Muslim prayer times are linked to those of the sunrise and
sunset, but in orbit the sun appears to rise and set more than a
dozen times a day."
He...he...
Di kutub utara juga gimana ya... ?
Bingung dah.
Orang Islam tipikal yang pandir kayak anjing dan yang menjadikan
al-Mushaf yang tidak berbukti berisi wahyu Allah itu sebagai
kita suci dan yang telah menjadikan tokoh fiktif Muhammad sebagai
nabi... ...
Allahu Akbar...

Malaysia considers Islam in space
By Jonathan Kent
BBC News, Kuala Lumpur
A two-day conference on Islam and life in space is under way in
Malaysia, in a bid to answer questions faced by would-be Muslim
astronauts.
Malaysia is due to send an astronaut into space with the Russians next
year.
The country's first spaceman is almost certain to be a Muslim, which
raises a number of practical issues.
For instance, Muslims wash before they pray but not only is water a
precious commodity in space, but it is also impractical in
weightlessness.
Likewise, the faithful face Mecca. However, that will mean pin-
pointing a moving location while in zero gravity.
And Muslim prayer times are linked to those of the sunrise and
sunset, but in orbit the sun appears to rise and set more than a dozen
times a day.
Serious discussion
Malaysia's science ministry has called together a group of experts to
thrash out these and other questions.
It is being billed as the first-ever serious discussion of the issues.
It is in keeping with the Malaysian government's mission to promote
what it calls Islam Hadhari, or civilisational Islam, which encourages
Muslims to embrace education, science and technology.
It will doubtless be hoping that a conference of Muslim scientists and
scholars debating such cutting edge issues will not go unnoticed in
the rest of the Islamic world. Story from BBC NEWS:
