Too cute for words -- Japanese camera on ISS needs a better name.

The ISS has a new drone camera made by the Japanese that’s just too cute for words. Probably designed by an anime illustrator. The only problem is its name: Int-Ball. Not cute.

So how about a better name for it? Surely we can do better than Int-Ball.

Maru Mari

Facey McPictureson.

Snappy.

Hal

Rocky McCamera Ball

Bubbles

Testy

Squee!

You’ll all change your tune when it deploys the rotating knives

I was thinking more like this

“Shirime-I”

Dark Star, after the bomb in the movie of the same name. This camera ball does look like something you could have a philosophical discussion with.

It looks kind of like an owl, so Hootie or Archie (after Archimedes, from Watchmen and THWhite).

It also kind of looks like an anime my daughter watched years ago, Hamtaro.

Eve, 'cause it surely looks like a prototype to me.

Over the top kawaii!

Happy Fun Ball.

Oh, c’mon how can everyone have missed the glaringly obvious?

I-Ball

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball!

Reminds me of V.I.N.CENT from The Black Hole.
