An inner-space capsule for navigating the terra incognita of one's navel. Other possible uses: 1.) A private home telephone booth for your AT&T Videophone. 2.) Evocative of H.G. Wells' cavorite sphere from his classic sci-fi novel, "The First Men in the Moon" (1901). I'd add Victorian-era style instrumentation, clock, Ruhmkorff coil lamps, rope ladder, diving suit and helmet, elephant gun, Union Jack, and porthole with a cool view of the approaching Moon!

I'm sure the design allows for a bigger ratio if you wanna get away from the drunk houseguests in the other room and hoard the good stuff.

Does anyone know if Mr. Isaacs is still alive?
