Why is technology not yet at the point of getting corpses off Everest? I thought Sikorsky invented a high altitude helicopter?
Pic related, the poor dead bastard's used a landmarker for heaven's sake.
It's a money thing. Not a lot of money in recovering Everest corpses.

They serve as valuable reminders that climbing Mt. Everest is stupid.
>>8090871
>people who do things that i do not are stupid
can't you at least try to not be retarded
>>8090847
Good point, so I'll rephrase the question. Why isn't technology at a cost efficient point of getting corpses off Everest? It'd be a good publicity coup for whoever.
>>8090899
Tell it to Nepal, they give zero shits
>>8090899
probably because there's no reason to invent something that flies that high but doesn't leave the atmosphere
>>8090894
I would say that climbing Everest is stupid because it has become something relatively routine that rich fuckers do. There are fucking lines to climb to the last bits to the summit. Sure, it is still dangerous and people die doing it, but the same is true of a ton of other things people do for fun that aren't heralded as some sort of triumph of mankind.
>>8090839
Id take his shit and sell it.
>Why is technology not yet at the point of getting corpses off Everest?
Which will come first? The ability to retrieve the bodies from Everest or the ability to replicate a person's mind digitally through scanning technology like MRIs.
Hear me out. Their bodies are cryogenically frozen. Perfectly preserved for all time, or till they're removed. If we prefect brain scanning and digitizing technology those bodies are perfect candidates. Those lucky bastards who died on Everyest may one day wake up 500 years in the future in a new cyborg body.
Also, cyborg zombie mountain climbers sounds like it should be a movie or something.
>>8091586
You bought into all the memes man. All of them. Fill out your bingo card.
Where would I even start. Ignoring a million potential roadblocks, sufficient resolution brain scanning is far off. Sufficient hardware implementation or biological cloning of a given brain structure is over a century off.
Do you know the problem with cryogenic freezing? Cells die because it happens too slow. I don't think a natural death on a mountain is going to bypass the problems we've had doing it in a controlled environment.
There is no continuity between these clones and their original consciousness, and so they are just that, clones. The same issue arises with quantum teleportation. Too lazy to write paragraphs alluding to contrast with the Ship of Theseus, blah blah.
>/sci/ complains helicopters are too expensive and can't fly near mountains

While your at it, leave all your trash there.

Hoverbikes are completely useless. Lift Efficiency doesn't run on magic or memes.
>>8091668
>Eventually point out that actually it is more efficient than a helicopter because the most efficient flying machine is a flying fuel tank and the hoverbike is closest to this
>/sci/ autists flee the thread
No such thing happened, autist.
>>8091668
>the most efficient flying machine is a flying fuel tank
Let's dismiss all variables and look at this in a purely reductionist view. Less is more. Means of propulsion, mode of flight, etc. are all irrelevant.
>>8090899
>It'd be a good publicity coup for whoever.
And with all the money in "publicity coup[s]," it's a wonder no one's bothered to do it.
>>8091586
>Their bodies are cryogenically frozen. Perfectly preserved for all time
Except water expands when frozen so cells containing water cracks open like a bear
>>8091652
You've never climbed a mountain have you fatboi?
>>8091687
Rip brain
>>8091706
Only ones in the states and only to remove faggot trash, boipucci.
>me in front
>>8091687
Those cells will never function again as they're damaged beyond repair, but if locked or frozen in the same state since death then they should still contain memories. The trick is copying those memories and transplanting them into a new body, weather cloned or synthetic/robot.
I'm not a neurologist however so I don't know if memories could even survive the freezing process.
>>8091720
I can see how much thought you've put into hauling corpses back from Everest. You'll just stuff a dude folded in half in each of your saddlebags.
>>8091742
>pay $30000 to climb Everest
>only clean trash
>dont even summit
Why
>>8091744
>implying neurologists know the answer to that
>>8091559
Hell is real
>>8091720
Just put them in a fucking bouncy ball and roll them down the mountain.
>>8091770
clever
>>8091770
What movie is that
>>8091770
If you used a smaller bouncy ball in the center to press bodies against the inner wall, you reduce the corpse-blender effect. This could actually be viable. Kickstarter?
>>8091793
Operation Condor, it is a must-see.
>>8091795
>This could actually be viable
100% viable. The only problem would be getting them into it if they are frozen in a weird way.
>>8091800
Morticians break bones all the time in order to get a body to lay flat. By mangling a few bodies you would be doing them a favor, really.
>>8091797
Do I need to watch part 1 or no?
>>8091808
You may as well because they are all good, but they are like Indiana Jones movies and there's no real tie-ins you need to know.
>>8091810
Ah I see. Well I like Jackie Chan so may as well watch them all
>>8091812
Good call.
>>8091813
Someone's gotta take lead to get this kickstarted and I'm a lazy CS dropout with no management skills. If you want it to happen, it's your turn to make a move here.
>>8090839
They have become monuments of selfishness,just ask there love ones.
>>8091945
I'd tell you to shut the fuck up but you sound interested in rolling their corpses down the mountain, why not support our campaign?
>>8090839
He's actually been missing for a while. They think someone buried him
>>8090899
If you want it that much then do it yourself, you entitled pussy.
>>8090839
Technology is good enough. Its just that the cost-benefit ratio isn't good enough to justify the expenditure.
>>8091742
+1 anon. you are the man keep up the good work.
can probably get crowdfunding for that kind of thing, you know
>>8092208
Source?
>>8091742
excuse me, are you the nigger?
>>8090839
If it was their life dream to die on top of mount everest and you ass clowns roll them down then you deserve all the freezing midnight hauntings you gonna get.
>>8090912
>wtfamIreading.jpg
Yeah, those jet plane things turned out to be useless.
>>8090899
The end result would be more stupid fucks trying to climb Everest and getting killed.
All those bodies serve as a warning.
>>8092469
No, he's the mountain of trash.
>>8090839
Everest is a pretty nice tombstone. They shouldn't be complaining.

You fucked up there, mate ("continuity").
