Jews in Space

[BenReilly]

I am compiling a list of all Jews who have travelled in outer space. Please feel free to make additions/corrections. I admit that Jewish astronauts can not compare in courage and bravery with Bulgarians, but I am still very proud of their accomplishments.

His ruling, instead, was that "Jewish astronauts should observe Shabbat, festivals and daily prayer according to local time in Houston." His reasons:


1. Simple logic. All astronauts set their watches by Houston time. Otherwise they would spend all of their time in space changing the time on their watches as Rabbi Sheloosh would require.

2. Secondly, we have a classic source for dealing with a similar situation. We have learned in Shabbat 69b: "A person lost in the desert who doesn't know when it is Shabbat, counts six days and rests on the seventh". In other words, when you are in a place where normal time divisions don't exist, you arbitrarily adopt a method for observing Shabbat after six 24-hour days.

Now if we could just get the Jews in space to launch some weapons to rid the world of the Muslim menace.

There was some outcry years back that Ferengi were supposed to be interstellar hebes.

Bernardi also explains that Star Trek fans have argued on the electronic mailing list that the Ferengi are comparable to Jews while other fans object to the racist implications of these comparisons. The point of this current study is not to argue that the Ferengi are or are not consciously patterned after racist Jewish stereotypes.


400 years in the future, Klingons are shtuppping Betazoids and everyone still hates the Jews!

That was silly and utter nonsense especially when you consider the Jewish involvement in the show!

A more "creative" racist Jewish stereotype would be the Changelings.

I thought we learned after the Columbia disaster that Jews - well, Israeli Jews anyway - were far to combustable to safely re-enter the atmosphere after space travel?

Judith Resnick also died in space.

Judith Resnick also died in space.
And apparently her remains made quite an impact - she left a friggin' crater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resnik_%28crater%29) on the moon.

Self loathing Jews in space! The worst kind!
