The laws of physics are assumed to hold throughout the universe. There is nothing special about Earth that would make time exist on Earth and not elsewhere in the universe. However, that does not mean that time exists in outer space. We can re-phrase the question as "Does time exist at all?" or "Does time exist anywhere?"
To this question, we can clearly answer "We're not sure." Some reputable physicists suspect that time is only an illusion, and that some day we will re-write the laws of physics to eliminate the time element. See, for example, "The End of Time: The Next Revolution in Physics," by Julian Barbour. Personally, I do not agree with Mr. Barbour, but we must admit that reasonable minds can and do differ on the question of whether time really exists at all.

If the International space station orbits the earth once every 92 minutes, each time on a slightly different path than the last, wouldn't you say that time exists in outer space???

Yes, time exists everywhere in the Universe.
In a certain technical sense, time comes to an end in the singularity in the center of black holes.
Time may not have existed prior to the Big Bang, but it will probably exist from now into the infinite future.

Time is relavant to the observer. An observer on earth counts sunrise to sunrise as one day. He could very well call it one motorcycle. When a spaceship(col) goeas around the earth, the occupants see sunrise multiple times in the course of our one day on earth. Does that mean they have spent days in space? No. This gets into Mission time. T minus then the mission time starts at lift off. A digital chronometer keeps track of time in space. So it is by hours and minutes than by days when in space.

Yes, though its odd.
"Time" on earth depends on earth rotation, though you could have a watch in space still keeping earth time.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines time as "the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future, regarded as a whole." [1] "
Therefor as there is past, present and future time must exist in space.
For some light reading, Wikipedia defines time as
"Two distinct views exist on the meaning of time. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence. This is the realist view, to which Isaac Newton subscribed, in which time itself is something that can be measured. A contrasting view is that time is part of the fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which we sequence events, quantify the duration of events and the intervals between them, and compare the motions of objects. In this view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that "flows", that objects "move through", or that is a "container" for events. This view is in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, in which time, rather than a thing to be measured, is part of the measuring system.

Time only exists because mankind invented it and keeps track of it. It is the same everywhere.
