Sydney, Ausralia, Terry Knox
I had my first interview involving space during the Zombie War a week ago. Terry Knox is known as a hero surviving while stranded in space. He and a few other astronauts boarded the ISS, a titanic space station that took sixteen countries a few years to build. Their plan was save many of the dying satellites because humanity depended on them. They uses "Jules Verne Three" to fix these satellites which made their jobs easy. They were never promised a rescue, and they only had enough food for twenty-seven moths. They had a lot of free time on their hand to do anything they pleased. Also they used their station to watch Zombie War chaos: Yonkers, fires, Pakistan against India, etc. Although, they couldn't hear what was happening which made them very curious on some situations. They thought they were the only manned station, but they received a signal from a Chinese space station, Yang Liwei, but it was cut short. They met up with the station, and there was enough food for five years and an escape pod. They also found one dead crew member that was shot by his other member. They could've taken the escape pod or the food, and the food was their choice. Three years later, they were rescued by an American Space Craft. Three days after this interview, Terry Knox died (rest in peace). I thought they made the right decision to take the food because there is a good chance that they would be rescued within five years in space. Also the escape pod possibly could have killed them, and there isn't anything to look forward to on Earth. I learned a lot about space, and Knox was a great interviewee.

I completely agree. I also think that what Terry probably prolonged the lives of the other crew members and him because if he did take the escape pod and came to earth, then there would be a good chance of zombies attacking them, but instead Terry took the food. I think that by taking the food, he not only insured him and his crew a safe ride home, but also it gave them a safe place to stay (in space) while the zombies roamed earth.
This was a very interesting interview because it was an astronaut. I don't think that I could have eaten lab animals as a source of food. This was quite disgusting to me. I have a lot of respect for him because he buried the murdered Chinese astronaut and then used their supplies to keep his crew alive for three more years. Over all this was a very well done blog.
