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 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.

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.)

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
