gollark: And prayers take place at certain times of day, which of course causes problems with no real day/night cycle available.
gollark: For example, you are required to pray facing the Mecca. How do you do this while in orbit of Earth? You need some sort of complex gyroscopic chair to face you in the right direction.
gollark: Islam is one of the less cool religions, because it adapts poorly to space travel.
gollark: GNU/Nobody is apparently a Muslim, if you're curious.
