"i believe antarcticais a continent. It's about, you know, a thousand miles, maybe a little or across," he says. "And i said, so here we've got a test, right? Because if we could fly over anarctica a and without n to see it, then i would be right." But the author was told that planes don't stop for fuel on such long flights.
