I don't think any body cares about that. Specially when you can collect the plastic balls (because it's in your pool) and recycle it (which I'm sure he did, I don't think he dumped it in his kitchen trash can). He also uses biodegradable glitter.
> biodegradable glitter ok, wow. TIL such thing exists.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've enjoyed quite a few of Mark's videos over the years. He's clearly smart and talented, but it was unsettling how insanely productive he seemed to be. That sort of thing naturally creeps into my subconscious and not in a healthy way. He mentions the people he works with but the videos are still presented in a way that makes them feel like a single person production. I should've figure…
He also pollutes the environment with all of his projects. Filling his swimming pool with plastic balls for views.

Right, but intent matters. You're not allowed to boobytrap your property, but beyond that you won't be held liable for burglars injuring themselves. I mean, if instead of glitter and fart spray the thing was wired specifically to explode and kill the thief, the argument "they stole my explosives and blew themselves up" won't hold water. I'm curious what a court would rule on this matter - anywhere from fart spray ove…

#94This guy sure gets a lot of milage out of his past employer. It's rare to hear him mentioned without NASA being mentioned in the same breath.
It definitely lends credibility; versus the introduction from the other comment - that this is the guy that glitter bombs package thieves on youtube - which makes me take this less seriously.

If you’re into this type of engineering check out “stuff made here” or “BPS Space”.
"Stuff Made Here" is amazing. I can't believe how talented that guy is. And he seems much less edited/fake than Rober (who I also enjoy). I watch both of their videos whenever they upload a new one, but "Stuff Made Here" appeals much more to my engineering side, and I appreciate the lack of "showmanship" that is so prevalent in Rober videos.

How exactly is that polluting? Do you think he just abandoned the pool with the balls still present? I can see an argument that its wasteful however.

#99This guy is doing a lot to pollute the environment just to get views on YouTube. Filling a swimming pool with plastic balls is one example. Has he heard of plastic pollution?
Also the guy that helped and donated $50,000 to team trees. Clearly you're trying to find a point to hate on him without acknowledging the good he's done.
