Summary: 

Because of wording in the Torah (sorry, as usual I lack the reference),
it is clear that virtually all of the commandments are related to the
LAND.  If you are land-based, on land, temporaily offland (as when
jumping or flying), or even in a boat (water in this sense is land
I think), you are bound by the commandments.

But in orbit, or on another planet,  I believe most commandments,
and therefore most of halacha, no longer apply.
