http://youtu.be/vihEAWWhQVo We can build really big things in space. Okay, not that big - yet. But we've packed the Earth's lower orbit with about 5,000 satellites - some still functioning and some not. What if we could build a bigger, brighter satellite and put it into the Earth's lower orbit? Something that would reflect so much sunlight that we'd never have to turn our lights on again. I'm talking about an artificial moon. How big could we possibly make it? And why would it be a bad idea to proceed with this space construction project?

http://youtu.be/fNOJjR1Znds Get rid of your old computers, because the future of technology has arrived! It's not artificial intelligence or virtual reality; it's something called quantum computing! And it could completely revolutionize every aspect of our society, from healthcare to finance, and even national security. But how does it work? When can we expect it? And what could happen if it gets into the wrong hands?

Your morning commute would be a lot different up there: you could travel at higher speeds and you could reach almost any remote destination. But what kinds of laws would we have to put in place to control the skies?

http://youtu.be/WPs0SwuXSEw Thomas Edison is one of the most famous inventors in history. He had over 1,000 patents and countless inventions. Many of his inventions changed the world.

http://youtu.be/Y6iutoPU4fY Populations of people are already fleeing climate change across the globe. In North America, the Alaskan village of Newtok was faced with a mega slump caused by melting permafrost. As the layers of frozen soil melted, the ground became unstable.
