They wouldn’t launch a billion dollar mission to retrieve dead bodies, they’d just let them orbit. Earth would gain a couple new moons.

What if someone hacked the space station and sent it hurtling toward the sun!!!

Of course we did. Whether or not a couple of unsuccessful and never reported Russian flights resulted in some dead bodies orbiting the Earth is a more credible conspiracy.

While funny at times; you try just a bit too hard.

Also, to correct the record...

They just simply travel thousands of miles overhead until orbital decay

This is incorrect. Geosync'ed objects are thousands of miles up but the ISS hovers around 250 nautical miles in altitude.

Oh, and the HST (hubble telescope) hovered around 400 miles up. The shuttle missions focused at deploying or repairing the telescope were the highest that shuttle went.

And even if they do carry cyanide capsules aboard the likelihood of them having enough time to retrieve them in the event something strikes the station is essentially zero. It’s inevitable they’d boil alive.

Cyanide would come into play if the station lost all power. And NASA wouldnt be able to lower the orbit in such an event either. So we would be able to see their tombs orbiting over us for years with our naked eye. A constant reminder

You scored some good shite. Just hope your brain doesn't get stuck like this.

Well, the ships sunk at Pearl Harbor are still full of the bodies of sailors that were on board at the time. Also, Mount Everest is littered with the frozen remains of climbers that didn't make the trip back down.

As odd as it sounds, we pretty frequently don't recover bodies that are difficult to retrieve.

That's better than having live bodies floating around. Zombies in space!
