  1. In 2022, DJI was able to fly one of their drones over Mt. Everest.

    Here are some of the physics challenges involved (see comments) 👇

    Here's the drone video (2022) recorded at the highest point on Earth!

    In 2024 and 2025, DJI drones, specifically the Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro, achieved record-setting, high-altitude flights over Mount Everest, capturing 8K footage of the summit at 8,848 meters. These drones, often operated with 8KRAW, showcased remarkable stability in high winds (up to 50 km/h) and thin air.

  2. Day 5 is raw slopes and clean air above the #PikesPeakHighway in #PikesPeak #ColoradoSprings 🏔️

    Rock textures, dark pines, and a strip of blue water that shows up when you least expect it.
    I chased the contrast between soft color and hard stone until the frame felt sharp and quiet.

  5. Day 4 is the higher mood, thinner trees and heavier sky as you keep climbing the #PikesPeakHighway ☁️ in #PikesPeak #ColoradoSprings

    Cloud shadows slide across the slopes, then the light breaks through just enough to shape the ridgeline.

  12. Horus Binary v3 (amateur high altitude balloon telemetry protocol) was only announced as beta yesterday^1 and there's already several test payloads showing up on the map!

    Unlike v2 payload callsigns and custom sensors can be sent without updating a central authority first. It features variable payloads lengths from 32bytes to 128bytes. And the decoder no longer requires a separate library built meaning we now have wheels on pypi for quick/easy install without the need to compile.

    Details: github.com/projecthorus/horusd

    ^1 in fact it's only really existed at all for a few days

  17. Delivery day for the oxygen cylinders!

    I got help loading them in the truck when I picked them up at the delivery point in Alamogordo.

    Back home, I'm alone and the unloading was slower and deliberate. Fortunately, I only had to lower the cylinders off the bed. Raising them would have required a ramp or other equipment.

    I got them into the garage before the next monsoon rainstorm.

    I need to make a wall rack to hold them upright, safely, securely. I think I need to get a 20-foot stick of 1-inch square steel tubing from the world famous Basin Pipe and Metal.

    Can I make an air liquefaction plant?

  18. Kearsarge Lakes And Pinnacles

    I've found a favorite place in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. There will probably be more as this is only my third serious hike into the backcountry of the range adn it is a large range of mountains

  19. A remote chapel in the Chilean Altiplano, not far from Isluga. These simple adobe and straw structures stand resilient at high altitude—this one sits quietly above 4,000 m, framed by dramatic skies.
