With a stick-like structure and a round knob on the end, it’s easy to see why some have compared it to a magic wand vibrator.
“Can we discuss how their space station is apparently a Hitachi magic wand that got glued to some lightsabers?” one humoured observer said on Twitter.

The Mission Impossible actor wants to shoot a film aboard the module, which is meant to join the International Space Station (ISS) by late 2024.
Space Entertainment Enterprise (SEE), the UK firm behind it, are working on the peculiar pod project for movies and TV shows to be made on 250 miles above Earth.
It’ll also be used to host sporting events and for nutty influencers who fancy doing live streams aboard.
The magic wand was made famous by Hitachi in the ’60s and has been a staple for ladies’ pleasure in the bedroom ever since.
It was originally intended to relieve muscles but became famous after late US sexpert Betty Dodson recommended it.
