3. Why do planes never fly over Antarctica?

Actually, there's no reason not to, now. At one time, due to the lack of any diversionary airports, flights didn't go that way because most modern aircraft have only two engines and ETOPS rules prevented it. But since 2011, new rules allow flights up to 330 minutes away from an airport, so there are now some Qantas flights that fly over. (ETOPS = Extended-range Twin-engine Operations Performance Standards)

6. Why haven't we gone back to the moon?

After Neil Armstrong, the USA did go back...five more times. Six were launched, but we know what happened to the Apollo 13 mission. And three more were planned, but budget cuts prevented NASA from doing so.

The Pikes Peak Summit House is famous for its donuts.

The new machine, the highest fryer in North America producing more than 500,000 donuts a year, meets Living Building Challenge (LBC) guidelines that specify requirements to positively impact the place, community, and culture of the project. Aramark will be using the same donut recipe that has been passed down since 1916, which only works at the 14,115-foot elevation or higher.
