Both the First and Second World Wars were undeniably horrific periods in history,

and one thing we can all agree on is that a Third World War would be good for nobody.

But what if the worst happens and we really do get swept up in one?

Well, some people would definitely have it worse than others.

So come with me as we take a hypothetical look at some of the

worst roles you could be assigned in World War III. But before we begin, on behalf of the

BMA's team, I'd like to express our sympathy for anyone affected by the ongoing conflicts

occurring right now. Our thoughts are with you, and you have our utmost support and respect. We'll get

through this together. With that said, let's get started.

You're listening. You're listening. You're listening to be amazed. In the event of a Third World War, you might expect outer space to be relatively safe in comparison with the potential Armageddon back on Earth anyway.

But you couldn't be more wrong. In fact, astronauts would have it tougher than a lot of people on the ground.

You see, nowadays we rely on satellites for pretty much everything.

There are over 1,100 of them circling the globe right now, and without them, it'd be chaos.

We'd lose our phone signal, the internet, our entire military organization,

and much more. See where I'm going with this? Yeah. Everyone would want to blow each other's

satellites up. And alongside the disruption that would cause at ground level, it could be fatal for astronauts.

If a missile hits a satellite, the resulting debris can shoot through space at a whopping

17,500 miles per hour.

At this speed, just one golf ball-sized piece would be enough to rupture the hull of the International Space Station.

This would depressurize the station pulling all of the air inside out into the vacuum of space,

including the air in people's lungs, causing them to suffocate within minutes.

That does not sound like a good way to go.
