Not content with sending a rocket to Mars, Elon Musk has now set his sights on reaching Uranus.

Uranus – a stretch goal

In a recent online session, the billionaire spaceman told his audience that reaching the icy planet was “a stretch goal.”
Uranus has traditionally been a planet subject to endless jokes because of its name – and this time around is no exception. Social media has exploded with Musk/Uranus memes.
Indeed, Elon himself is known to love memes possibly helping to fuel the lewd humor doing the rounds.

Uranus – below the belt

While Musk’s celestial goals may be up in the stratosphere, his followers this time appear to have aimed well below the belt – so to speak.
