Some people believe it looks like a PS controller - but others feel it resembles something a little different, and designed for another kind of game.
Space Entertainment Enterprise (S.E.E.), the company which is said to be producing Tom Cruise's new movie, has announced plans to build the first film studio/arena in space.
The plan stipulates that space station builder Axiom Space, which has its own partnership with NASA, will start the project by creating the Axiom Hub 1 module and attaching it to the ISS. Then, the company will build the outside of the station and reattach the hub to it.
Meanwhile, S.E.E. plans to create its own module, S.E.E.-1. It is expected to be available to individuals who want to film or live stream content in space, "including films, television, music, and sports events", according to the company.
This ambitious project has drawn a lot of attention from netizens, but not for the reasons you might think: users started mocking the station for its design because it is really close to that of a famous Hitachi sex toy.
Ok sure, whatever, it won't work but fine sure ok.

BUT CAN WE DISCUSS how their space station is apparently a hitachi magic wand that got glued to some lightsabers? https://t.co/L9xvDT5p2U
