Vulva Spaceship aims to counter prevalence of phallic spacecraft

 

A German feminist art group has revealed a vulva-shaped spaceship concept, which it is encouraging the European Space Agency to help realise in order to better represent humanity in space and "restore gender equality to the cosmos."

 

The group Wer Braucht Feminismus? (WBF?), which translates to "Who Needs Feminism?", created the Vulva Spaceship concept to challenge the convention of phallic spacecraft design.

 

The yonic craft was designed to signal inclusivity and the group has started a petition on change.org calling on the European Space Agency to consider the project.

 

"The project adds another dimension to the representation of humanity in space and is communicating to the world that anyone has a place in the universe, regardless of their genitalia," said the organisation.

Someone needs to tell these mindless idiots that's not how spaceship design works...

That’s just, like, because science, man…

My take on the issue: Bezos's rocket offended them A LOT.

And you do know he wanted it that way in design.

 

Tons of other rockets don't look like that. Gahahahahhah

I mean...  It was kinda blatant wasn't it!

No wonder aliens want nothing to do with us.. we keep launching our genitalia into space..

I get that this is "art", but it seems to imply that somebody got offended and upset by the shape of a rocket.  Granted, I'm not at all surprised seeing as people get upset about literally everything these days.

Just waiting on somebody to sue Elon because their child watched a rocket launch and was offended by it.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not?!
I'm sure some people are dumb enough to think like that, but could they really start the design process without finding out that the cylinder shape has advantages apart from looking like a penis...? I guess by spaceship design they mean drawing...

I'd suggest it's not a "joke" but a commentary using parody to make a (potentially misguided) point.

Most hilarious (and gratefully most welcome!) post of the WEEK! 😁👍

What's next? They're gonna propose a design change with airplanes/aircraft?

I found out at about 14 years of age, that I was addicted to the vulvular shape.

I'm reminded of a Russian sci-fi movie I saw in a theater as a kid, Imported from the Soviet Union and edited by "King of the B Movies" Roger Corman, together with his young writer-editor Francis Ford Coppola (yes, THAT guy). 

 

The trailer is "most interesting" if you watch starting at about 50 seconds in:

In case nobody else "got it" (but for Mr. Montage), the goofy battling genital aliens were created, built, puppeted, filmed, and edited into this Russian sci-fi movie for US release by Mr. Coppola in 1962. (It was scary to this 8-year-old in 1962.)

So much for my attempt to connect with the topic title in an oddly tangential way.
