You know what's tough?

Sitting at home, with a pile of dishes in the sink, and laundry that needs doing, thinking up new excuses to avoid going to the gym, and then being hit with the realisation that this week Elon Musk sent a car into outer space.

Elon Musk. Sent a car. Into outer space.

What have you done?

Actually, some of you have contributed something that's perhaps even more important to humanity than the remarkable feats of engineering, technology, and mathematics involved in the launch of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy.

Some of you have written a funny tweet. And some of you have written funny tweets about Elon Musk! See where we're going, here?
