If Asteroid becomes @SpaceX official mascot, could we bring back the adorable Asteroid Shiba for purchase on the website again? All proceeds from the purchases would be donated to @StJude Children’s Research Hospital to help children battling cancer.

Help us make Space Camp unforgettable! 🚀 Thanks to the incredible Asteroid Scholarship — made possible by a generous sponsorship from Jared Isaacman in Liv’s memory — pediatric cancer survivors will get the chance to experience an amazing week at Space Camp in Huntsville, AL. While the kids are busy exploring space, training like astronauts, and making lifelong memories, we also want to spoil their parents a little with welcome gifts and a few special activities of their own. We’ve put together an Amazon wishlist with some items needed for Space Camp week (for both the campers and their parents). 👇 Every item helps make this week even more special. Thank you for supporting these brave kids and their families. 🎗️ 📸Liv at Space Camp in June 2022 and our family with her memorial plaque displayed at camp.

Two years ago today, Asteroid left Earth. On September 10, 2024, Polaris Dawn launched. Inside the capsule was the Shiba Liv designed — a small orange dog in a spacesuit she named Asteroid so other kids would see him float and believe they could reach for the stars too. She was in remission when he flew. Less than a month later, the cancer came back. She still got to watch her drawing become real. She still got to send a piece of herself into orbit before the next fight started. That was Liv. She never waited for perfect conditions to give something away. Two years later, Asteroid is SpaceX’s official mascot. Liv is our guiding star. And the promise she asked us to keep is still the work: help kids like her, one family at a time. If a stuffed dog can go to space, they can too. She believed that while she was well. She believed it after the scans changed. We still believe it.💫🚀

Looked into the Asteroid lote and its quite fascinating. 15 yo Liv Beretto was a Cancer patient and died at a too young age. Before she died she had a few questions to Elon Musk and also designed a Asteroid Shiba-Inu. Elon Musk replied and made it the official mascot. The only question is if Asteroid will play a role at the SpaceX IPO or next mission??? I think @elonmusk could do a very nice thing here.

When you’re preparing for a rare celestial opportunity, every component must land on schedule. Redwire successfully completed on-time delivery to support @ESA's Ramses mission to study near-earth asteroid. Redwire's ADPMS-3 computer system will serve as the "brain" of ESA's Ramses, guiding the spacecraft thorough a before-and-after survey of the asteroid’s shape, surface, orbit, rotation and orientation. Congratulations to the entire team and our partners on achieving this important milestone. ✅ Read more:
