Terry Knox


Today I interview Terry Knox. I met up with Terry to interview him about his experience as an astronaut during the zombie war in a hospital in Sydney, Australia. Terry was stranded up in space when the zombie outbreak started with his other crew members. While they were stranded up there they had very advanced technology that made their lives alot easier to do their work and gave them more free time which was not exactly a good thing because there was nothing to do in space except for listen to the same music, read the same book again, sleep, or exercise. Also, this technology allowed them to zoom and see in pretty good detail what was happening on Earth. They witnessed many battles and were able to see many peculiar things going on with zombies and humans. Terry and his crew were able to see every major event that happened during the zombie pandemic up in space where they were safe from the infection and the living dead. There space station was only allowed to continue to operate and stay up in orbit because they had found the Chinese shuttle, Yang Liwei, that was abonded with enough food, water, and emergency supplies to last for 5 years. There was also an escape pod still on board and Terry and his crew was forced with the decision to either take the supplies and continue to stay in space or go back to Earth on the escape pod. Terry decided to take these supplies and stay in space for another 3 years. When I asked Terry if he regretted his decision, he said, " I don't regret this, we made our choice and I'd like to think, we made a difference in the end." When Terry and his crew members got back to Earth, since they were in space for so long, had to go through a tough and challenging physical therapy to regain the strength in their legs and come accustom to the gravity on Earth and the feeling of walking again. It seems like a got this interview just in time because as you know Terry was in the hospital when I interviewed him and unfortunately he died 3 days after this interview.
