This is not the Onion, it's what some batty old German fembots have been discussing.
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.

The Vulva Spaceship was designed to counter the predominance of phallus-shaped space imagery
WBF? argues that as well as being symbolically inclusive, the ship would be "surprisingly aerodynamic" because the V-shape creates little drag as the craft leaves Earth's atmosphere – proving that there is room for non-phallic shapes in space.
"We want to restore gender equality to the cosmos," said the group.
"We dare to change the status quo in space travel: new shapes in space will revolutionize our thinking, our actions and everything we have thought to be true."
