I had to look this up on Bricklink to prove it wasn’t designed by M.C. Escher, and once I realized what it was, I was surprised to see what else it was used for.
Huwbot's on a bit of an, er, scoop kick?
Hey, kinda' the little cousin of yesterdays...really like the idea of these on the bottom of starships; but now that I think about it: airlock outer doors...just off the top of my head...:)

Bottom of starships, so the floor can drop out in case of alien attack?
@MeisterDad:
Bottom of spaceships to contain the mess when you use your liquefaction ray to defend against a hostile boarding party!
@MeisterDad : Well, I was thinking more ease of personnel leaving and entering a landed ship; a hatch/door/stair/ramp system...*whew* sorry...slapping those four descriptors together was a jumble:)...although, I do like the page that @PurpleDave is on...
Until yesterday I had none of that part. Got Kai's pod (71714) and just one day later it appears here! Amazing.
Apparently Huwbot is in a trailer kind of mood. Bigger daddy one yesterday, smaller junior one today, we getting a teeny baby one tomorrow?
