Eytan Stibbe is now an Israeli astronaut, and one of three astronauts having paid for a flight to the International Space Station on a private mission.
I dont know how long Stibbe is going to be in space but he will be there long enough that he will have to celebrate Pesach this week in space.
How does one celebrate Pesach ins pace?
Clearly one contacts Chabad. They might not have an actual Chabad House on the ISS but if anyone can arrange this it is them, and maybe Eytan Stibbe will officially be the Chabad shliach to the ISS.
Rabbi Konikov of Chabad of the Space and Treasure Coasts in Florida prepared a Pesach food package for Stibbbe to take with him for the holiday. The food package includes hand-made shmura matza and some grape juice boxes. Stibbe will have a wine cup but will have to drink his four cups using a straw.
I have not heard anything about maror in space.
A conspiracy theorist might think Stibbe is going up to make adjustments to the Jewish space laser with all this other Jewish stuff going on up there.
