Olivia "Liv" Perrotto (2010–2026) loved Tesla, SpaceX, anime and the night sky. Fifteen years old, from Williamsport, Pennsylvania. For five years she fought undifferentiated sarcoma. Along the way, she designed a Shiba Inu in a spacesuit and named it ASTEROID.
In orbit
ASTEROID, in zero gravity.
The plush Liv designed, floating inside the Dragon capsule moments after the Polaris Dawn crew reached microgravity — September 10, 2024.

"I am the designer of ASTEROID."
Her fight
5 years
Battling undifferentiated sarcoma — a rare, aggressive pediatric cancer — while still painting Teslas, drawing Cybertrucks, and building models of Starship.
The sketch
30 min
Jared Isaacman asked her to design a zero-gravity indicator for Polaris Dawn. Thirty minutes later she handed him ASTEROID — a Shiba Inu in a spacesuit, inspired by Elon's dog Floki.
Polaris Dawn · Mission I
From a teenager's notebook to the Dragon's cabin.
The Polaris Dawn crew — Jared Isaacman, Scott Poteet, Sarah Gillis, Anna Menon — carried Liv's plush on humanity's first commercial spacewalk. It has ridden every mission since.
Chapter two
The note she left behind.
Too weak to pick up the phone for the call Elon had scheduled, Liv wrote eight questions for him on a piece of paper and placed it on her bedside. After she passed, her mother shared the note on X. Glenn Beck read it live on air. Elon replied within minutes.

Q8 —
Ok 🫡
October 2024 · Pittsburgh
All night in line.
Liv stood in line all night at an Elon town hall just to ask him one question: "When will you start sending kids to space?" She wanted to be the first.
January 2026 · The final call
Flowers, and a note.
Elon arranged a phone call with her in her final days. She was too exhausted to speak. He sent flowers and a handwritten note instead. They were placed in her casket.
Jared Isaacman
He chartered planes for her treatment.
The Polaris commander took her for a ride in a fighter jet, consulted with St. Jude, introduced her to astronaut Charlie Duke and William Shatner — and asked a 13-year-old to design a piece of space history.
The legacy
Every mission, from here to Mars.
April 2026 — Elon made ASTEROID SpaceX's official mascot. Falcon 9, Dragon, Starship, Polaris, Artemis, and whatever comes next: Liv's creation rides with every crew, on every launch, forever.
The token
One coin. One tribute.
$ASTEROID lives on Ethereum. Launched quietly in late 2024 and taken over by the community within its first days. No taxes. No team tokens. Liquidity burned. Just a memecoin carrying Liv's story across every block.
$ASTEROID launched quietly in late 2024 and was taken over by the community within its first days. Narrative lead @jhaninvest, on-chain operations by @peterfeng168, backed by dedicated Chinese and Vietnamese community cells — together they have been shipping ever since. Every deploy public, every LP burned, every wallet traceable.
Community takeover · within days of launch
"I handled narrative and promotion. @peterfeng168 lifted the donations on his shoulders."
Two roles, one playbook, spanning three languages: narrative tells the story loud enough for the world to hear; on-chain ops move tokens silently where they matter; the Chinese and Vietnamese cells carry both into their own markets, 24/7. No pre-sales. No team unlocks. No retroactive tax. Just a thread, a contract, and receipts on Etherscan.
From late-2024 launch to the April 2026 peak — one of the first ETH memecoins to clear a $150M market cap on a pure-narrative trade.
Direct to St. Jude
2.1 B$ASTEROID
Donated to @StJude Children's Research Hospital in 2024 — the same hospital that treated Liv. The position peaked at roughly $1M USD two years later.
Track record
2024 · Q4
Joined day three
First movers on the ASTEROID Shiba contract, right as Polaris Dawn's zero-g plush went viral.
2024 · Q4
2.1B donated to St. Jude
Transferred on-chain, publicly verifiable. No marketing fund carve-out, no revesting.
2025
LP locked, contract renounced
Liquidity permanently locked; ownership renounced. Multiple third-party audits, zero findings.
April 17, 2026
Elon replies. The world notices.
Musk's "Ok 🫡" to Liv's eighth question sent the token on a 45,000%+ 72-hour move, pushing market cap past $150M and lifting ASTEROID out of the memecoin underground into mainstream headlines — Yahoo, CoinDesk, Reuters, Glenn Beck on air.
Operating principle
Only consistent building earns the market's trust.
Attention is cheap; conviction is not. From day three of 2024 through the April 2026 breakout, we've been shipping every single week — public threads, on-chain donations, community calls, listing applications, this site. Hype cycles come and go. Markets only respect projects that keep building after the spotlight moves on — and that is the only edge we claim.
What happens next
ASTEROID rides the biggest IPO ever.
SpaceX is expected to go public in June 2026 at a reported ~$1.75 trillion valuation — the largest public offering in history, larger than every other tech IPO combined. Liv's Shiba Inu, now the mascot of every SpaceX launch, travels onto the most-watched cap table on Earth.
June 2026 · NYSE
The rocket that ASTEROID rides on goes public.
Every Falcon 9 and every Dragon capsule in the SpaceX fleet carries Liv's plush. When the bell rings in June, a fifteen-year-old's drawing is riding along on the biggest market debut in history.
Reported valuation
$1.75 T
Roughly 3× the next-largest IPO in history (Saudi Aramco, 2019). Bigger than Meta, Tesla, or Alibaba at debut — combined.
Historical rank
#1 ever
The largest public offering of all time. Every financial front page, every evening news segment, every magazine cover in June 2026 will feature the rocket that ASTEROID calls home.
Tailwind
Retail's eyes snap back to space.
An IPO this size doesn't just move a ticker — it rewrites the narrative for an entire sector. Space stocks, space ETFs, space memes. And right at the center of the story is Liv's plush Shiba, already riding on every launch, already carrying the brand people will be Googling for months.
Crew
Strap in.
Every holder rides with Liv. Follow along, share the story, bring your friends — and when you look up, remember: her dream is everyone's dream now.
