@GTAVALE - Well, the distinction there is that when the polar bear realizes his prey is human, he does not stop hunting it. It might be that no marine predators will attack a human if they could realize it was not it's preferred prey, but who cares? If the animal is known for attacking, it's known for attacking.

As in, "Mars look like the Atacama desert of Chile"? Or, "I'm hungry. I want a quesadilla with chile"?

@kargaist - You seem to miss the point. It's quite capable of going to deadly from playful in an instant, even while still being playful. Watch the Sea World Orca attack video. Tell us when the playfulness stopped and the deadliness started. It seems that incident never lost the play component, it simply became deadly. So, watch that leopard seals mouth and then imagine it puts its mouth AROUND THE DIVERS HEAD. This actually happened to a diver. The seal did not kill him, but it was an extremely dangerous situation.

Typical problems of nearly unrestricted development.

Would you call that being on your Ice Bucket Challenge List?

How is that overdramatization. I have been diving around sharks and other potentially dangerous creatures. Nothing would have scared me more than to have that leopard seal in my face. The diver has no control, no escape, unless the seal allows it. That is very troubling and potentially deadly. The only thing scarier to me would be a polar bear (that would be terrifying) or a horde of feeding Humboldt Squid.

fiendin281 That is quite unlikely. A jellyfish is an animal. Do you think it has self-recognition? It does not even have a brain-like organ.

fiendin281 - When a word's definition begins to encompass everything, the word has no (useful) meaning. So, when we say "sentient", first make sure you assign that word a useful meaning that we all commonly share before you decide that all animals are sentient. Sentience was purposefully created as a word to distinguish intelligent creatures from others, creatures that can recognize and distinguish their own identity at a high level. If you think you can cleverly win an argument or change public attitudes by destroying the useful meaning of a word, think again.

The video shows Bethany taking measurements along a shoreline from a lake with a pH of 3.5. What does that do to clothing and skin? I don't see protective gear. I would think if you kneel, you might end with holes in your knees (at least the next time you wash your jeans). After all, I was in Luray Caverns as a tourist (and other caves) and splashes from the acid water there did end up leaving holes in my clothes. Anybody "been there / done that" in geology?

You think the images of the crater are poor quality? Do you think we have a super=hi-res camera covering every crater on Mars, and taking images in every part of the electromagnetic spectrum? If so, you're deluded. If you think we should be spending the money on a program just to accomplish that level of coverage, you need to study the Federal budget and figure out where we could get that money. We're lucky to have ANY hi-res images.

Well, as is obvious to the most casual of observers, those retroreflectors were put there by aliens. It's part of the hoax that extraterrestrials are playing on us that they don't exist. (It has even been well-documented that Kaiser Sose is the aliens' consultant on this hoax.)

It's unfortunate that beautiful sites get spoiled. However, one should not blame tourists for development. If the locals want to earn money by catering to tourists, who are the outsiders to complain? If one is concerned, pay them money to not build.
