“Asteroid the Shiba Inu isn’t just a plush — she flew to space as the zero-g indicator on Polaris Dawn, designed by brave 15-year-old Liv Perrotto before she passed.
Now she’s the official SpaceX mascot. ❤️
@SpaceX@elonmusk — any chance of another restock soon? Fans worldwide (including in China) want to support the story and St. Jude. Liv’s legacy belongs on every launch! 🚀🐕
#Asteroid #SpaceX”
ethereum:0xf280b16ef293d8e534e370794ef26bf312694126 is up more than 130% this week, but the pump has a stranger and more emotional story than most meme coins.
It starts with Liv Perrotto, a young cancer patient and space fan who designed a Shiba Inu plush called Asteroid for SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission.
The toy flew to space as the mission’s zero-gravity indicator. Liv said it was inspired by Elon Musk’s Shiba, Floki, and wanted it to make space feel closer for other kids.
Before she died, Liv reportedly left Musk a final question: could Asteroid become SpaceX’s mascot?
Months later, SpaceX listed the Asteroid plush on its store.
Crypto traders immediately found the unofficial ASTEROID token.
The parody meme coin briefly added over $50M in market value.
SpaceX is tied to the plush, not the token. But as always in crypto, a powerful story can move faster than fundamentals.
This is a pretty huggeeeee!!!!
SpaceX has finally launched the official Asteroid merchandise page — the Easter egg in the IPO video was real.
Elon kept his promise!!

SpaceX has officially made the Shiba named Asteroid their Mascot.
It was available for purchase on the SpaceX website for maybe .7 seconds before it instantly sold out.
If you do not currently own SpaceX Stock, the best thing you can do is purchase the memecoin Asteroid on the Ethereum Blockchain.
It is LITERALLY the BETA to SpaceX, it basically HAS to go to a billion.
