User:Auric/Jewish law in space

Jewish law in space is a relatively new field of law, since there are few observant Jewish astronauts, such as Ilan Ramon.

The Talmud and the Misha set the height of the Sabbath at 39 palms.

A good deal of the activities prohibited on Shabbat are directly invoked in spaceflight.

An eruv line might be wrapped around the capsule, but this would not cover extra-vehicular activity.
