[Avodah] R' Nissim Karelitz's Beis Din: Kohanim cannot fly from Ben Gurion

[via Avodah]

From: Zev Sero via Avodah <avodah at lists.aishdas.org>

No  matter where in the universe you are, you are above every point on a 
line  that extends between you and the centre, and below every point on 
that  line's infinite extension.  
-- 
Zev  Sero

I don't believe there is any halachic source that defines "above" this  
way.  Anyway, center of what?  A line between the center of earth and  you -- 
even if you're standing on a distant planet or star?  Maybe if you  went to 
Mars, "above" would be the extension of a line between the center of  Mars 
and you?  Or would it always be the extended line from the center  of earth, 
no matter where else in the universe you were?
