The logistics of werewolves in space?

Asked by Emerson (67points) September 16th, 2010

Hi all,
I’m planning on writing a short story for my fiction class revolving around the idea of werewolves in space. Unfortunately, I’m not very well versed in werewolf lore and I’m not exactly sure how the particulars would work out.
Would a werewolf immediately transform as soon as it got to space? I’d like to use the catchphrase “It’s always a full moon in space!” Is this true/applicable?
My idea involves an astronaut being unknowingly bit by a werewolf and he transforms while on a shuttle to the international space station. He eventually eats everyone and is left alone in space to die of starvation.
Questions/comments/concerns? The story is only supposed to be 10–20 pages so I’m not super concerned with exact details and such, but it’d be nice to hear some suggestions on anything.
Also, I’m looking for a title for this story as well. I was thinking about something that subtlety suggests the theme while not giving everything away. I’d like it be one of those “Or” titles, where the story has two names and have the second name be “It’s always a full moon in space.”
Thanks for your comments, everyone.
