to travel that far and spend all that time and money just to stand in line all day to summit. Those lines are insane looking the past few years. Disney and Universal look like they move quicker! I have thought about doing base camp though just to put it all in perspective. A lot of other things to do first though.

After watching that, I'm really not sure what the big deal is with Everest. -- MP4VT2004 Jul 16, 2024 at 07:55 AM ET

Did it show the dead bodies on the slopes?** -- UTPr0sim Jul 16, 2024 at 07:46 AM ET

No. Only those that are in a near death state.** -- great2bahokie Jul 16, 2024 at 11:18 AM ET

Smart people...how does the Drone's propellers get enough bite in that -- Tuckahokie Jul 16, 2024 at 06:25 AM ET

Propeller thickness, pitch, rotation speed, camber. Same as with mars -- ColoVT82 Jul 16, 2024 at 08:10 AM ET

I've seen many videos of failed attempts from Everest and K2. -- great2bahokie Jul 16, 2024 at 06:29 AM ET

You'll throw out less trash on the mountain by watching the video.** -- EDGEMAN Jul 16, 2024 at 06:16 AM ET
