What do you think they did with all the dead bodies?

Terry Knox: Sydney, Australia

This morning, I scheduled an interview with Mr. Knox, a former commander of the International Space Station.  He was not down on Earth during the outbreak, but instead, he was flying high up in the orbit of the planet.  During his time up in space, the astronauts were shown live footage of battlefields and attacks of the zombies, and they had to sit in their sattelite and watch, knowing that they couldn't do anything to help.  One day, as they were trying to contact another close by space station, they flew closer, and found it had been deserted.  The astronauts had taken the route back home:  a emergency capsule.  With a dead man shot in the forehead still linguring around the cabin, they stole their appliances and food, which they needed badly in order to keep surviving up in space.  They had gone to the last resort in order to stay alive.  Cutting food rations, not eating for a couple of meals, and even devowering the test rats.  In the end, they made it back down to earth, but Mr. Knox stated that they had never expected to be rescued by anyone.  In all, this interview really gave me a different perspective on the war, and it made me realize that we weren't the only ones suffereing.  The men and women up in space couldn't affect the war in any way, while the people on earth had to kill all the zombies.  I feel that it would be hard to live on earth, but harder to watch others die with knowing that you could've been at their side.
