Terry Knox



Location:Clearwater Memorial, Sydney, Australia

Today I met Terry Knox, he was the first Australian commander on the international space station. The reason he is so interesting is because he was left up there for much of the duration of the war. With that it allowed him to see everything that was going on, everything. Although he did have the choice to comeback to Earth, he thought that the ISS was much more important, and heck who wouldn't want to stay up there so far from any zombies. Anyways, he then went on to how he watched everything from a failed search and rescue, to a nuclear war, to a zombie digging a hole. They really did have a perfect, secure view point of everything. One thing that he said was annoying was that the could do nothing, all their communications were down on earth and all they could do was sit and watch, or in his case float and watch. Before we finished he did give me a old picture of what looked to be from the spacestation, he then said it was a picture he took right after last reentry lifeboat had left.

I agree with you. He was pretty lucky to stay up in the space station throughout the war. That is probably the safest place to stay. He probably saw a huge change in the geography of the Earth.

I think he was lucky and unluckly when he was in the space station. Becuase poeple could barely stay alive, the last think on their mind were the four people in space that needed help. I think that they knew they were going to die but somehow the escaped. Overall I think it was a great interview.
