In this video we do a little speculating! What could NASA do with the US military's massive 600 billion dollar annual budget?

EDIT: Made a little mistake at 0:29...I pressed the greater than sign when it should be less than. My apologies!

Edit 2: I have also realized that I took NASA's budget percentage from the TOTAL United States annual budget, not the DISCRETIONARY budget like I used for the military. It's still a very small percentage, but I apologize nonetheless.

What Would Happen if the Earth Stopped Spinning? – Second Thought
SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://bit.ly/2nFsvTS

Even though we can’t feel it, we know the earth is rotating on its axis as it travels around the sun. This rotation is what gives us our regular 24 hour days and helps keep temperatures mild around the planet. What would happen if the earth suddenly stopped rotating?

What if There Were Only One Prison on Earth? – Second Thought
SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://bit.ly/2nFsvTS

We’re all familiar with the idea of prisons. They’re used to separate the “bad guys” from the “good guys.” Each one of these facilities typically only holds a few hundred to a few thousand prisoners…what if there was just one mega-prison on earth? What would it take to fit 10.5 million inmates in one prison?

How Could We Survive a Zombie Apocalypse? – Second Thought
SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://bit.ly/2nFsvTS

We’ve all secretly wished for a real zombie apocalypse at one point or another. While games like Call of Duty and movies like Shaun of the Dead make survival look fun or easy, a real zombie apocalypse would most likely mean an untimely end for many of us, no matter how prepared we think we are. So…how can we give ourselves the best shot at survival? How could we survive a zombie apocalypse?
