The Happiness Quotient

Lighting Mount Everest From Space Is Now Possible | Plus AI Weather Forecasts, Drones and More


Listen Later

Everest is changing—faster than most people realize.

For decades, the mountain has been quietly “dialed in.” Better forecasting, supplemental oxygen, fixed ropes, and accumulated experience have made it safer—even as more people attempt it than ever before.

Now, a new wave of technology is accelerating that change. Drones, AI systems. and the possibility—real, not theoretical—of lighting Everest from space.
