That does not make any sense. Draw the drawing yourself and you would find it very strange.

The problem is what actually happened. Recently some muslim visited outer space including one pakistani woman. The space travels are going to become common in near future so it is a practical problem and require a logical and sensible solution.
Can you even perform Salah at all, when you're travelling like that?

If you were to take up permenant residence on another planet, or moon, wouldn't it make more sense to just establish a new Qibla there?
