  Although it is not a fundamental question, to determine exact and general
solutions for a given theory has advantages over a numerical integration in
many specific cases. Of course, respecting the peculiarities of the problem.
Revisiting the integration of the General Relativity Theory field equations for
the Kantowski-Sachs spacetime, that describes a homogeneous but anisotropic
universe whose spatial section has the topology of $R \times S^2$, we integrate
the equations for arbitrary curvature parameter, and writing the solutions
considering the process of gravitational collapse. We took the opportunity and
made some comments involving some features of the model such as: energy
density, shear, viscosity, and the production of gravitational waves via Petrov
classification.
