In January of this year, the life of Mask's 10-year-old Liv Perrotto stayed forever at the age of 15, and her design of Asteroid was officially recognized by Mask as SpaceX mascot in the early hours of today (19 April)。The market value of ASTEROID on the same name Meme SOL rose by $6 million, and the market value of ASTEROID on the ETH rose by $170 million

And the last Meme, which was horrifying, was six months ago。

Asteroid Designer Liv Perrotto's Space Dream

Liv Perrotto was born in 2010, and from a very young age she was passionate about space and dreamed of becoming an astronaut or a fighter pilot。

In March 2021, she felt ill and subsequently found a large tumor in the neck during the examination, which was subsequently diagnosed as a rare and extremely invasive tumor and opened a path to cancer for years. Even after high-intensity chemotherapy, treatment and multiple surgeries and clinical trials, she had been under tremendous physical and psychological stress and had maintained her attachment to space and optimism。

During treatmentLiv made contact with the Inspiration4 mission launched by SpaceXI don't know. This is the first civilian-to-civilian orbital flight project in the world, while raising good money for St. Jude Children ' s Research Hospital. Through this opportunity, Liv not only reached out to the project team, but was invited to visit the launch site with his family on his 11th birthday. This experience brought her closer to the dream of space for the first time and became one of the most important spiritual underpinnings in her fight against cancer。

At the beginning of 2022, Liv had undergone a high-risk surgery, successfully removing the tumours and subsequently confirming that it was in the mitigation phase. Over the following two years, her condition had once stabilized and her contacts with the space sector had been deepening。

In the Polaris project, which follows SpaceXShe was invited to participate in the design of the Zero Gravity IndicatorI don't know. It's a little doll that floats when the ship enters weightlessness, and it's used to mark it into space. Liv completed the design in a short period of time — a velvet wood called Asteroid, inspired by her imagination of space and her love for a lovely image。

In 2024, her design of "Asteroid" entered space with the Polaris Dawn mission and drifted into a weightless environment. For her, it was not only a design that was realized, but also a visual expression of her dream。

During this period, she also continued to participate in public service activities, hoping to help other sick children and to donate the related revenues to St. Jude Children ' s Hospital。

However, every day, in the second half of 2024, Liv's cancer re-emerged and spread to the lungs, bones and brain. Despite attempts at multiple treatment programmes, including surgery, immunotherapy and clinical trials, the condition continues to deteriorate。

In January 2026, Liv, accompanied by his family, entered terminal care and died on January 14, at the age of 15。

In the final stages of her life, she still cared about space, her friends and her family. DownA simple wish -- to see the Elon Musk she's been worshippingI don't know。

Originally, Mask had promised to meet her at the next Starship launch and to try to arrange a call during her increased condition. One night, the family received information and the other could contact the other night or the next. Because of the late hour, Liv just said, "Let him fight tomorrow, I'm a little tired. The family later remembered that she was still laughing at the scene of the "Maxk Dove"。

The following day, however, the call was not made. She was unable to see Mask or to speak to him。The list of issues she had prepared for the meeting was still on the bedside。

America's famous mouth, chained to Meme

On April 17th, the X user, Glenn Beck, re-narrated the story, not only posting the list of issues in the above chart, but also directly @to Mask。

Mask's due, "Be right back." This "sign" was quickly captured in the chain market。

Especially the last question, "Can you make Asteroid the mascot of SpaceX?" "It's not just the heat of Meme that's on the chain."。

First of all, the SOL chain, also known as the Meme Currency ASTEROID, quickly rose to 10 million market values. Then ETH, also known as Meme Currency ASTEROID, started to rise and quickly reverse the SOL chain。

And with Mask's confirmation this morning that Asteroid was designated as SpaceX mascot, the ASTEROID on ETH quickly broke the market value of $100 million, which is now reported at $177 million。

The mascot theme was once an important building block for Meme, and in the last six months, the encryption market has been underperforming as a whole, and the Meme area has been very heavy, perhaps long before it was seen。

ASTEROID, JUST A FREEDOM IN A FEW DAYSSpecial time(SpaceX raised the IPO target valuation to over $2 trillion at the beginning of this month) amplification of hotspot narratives also coincided with Glenn Beck's leverage。

Do you wonder why Mask came to reply to Glenn Beck's "inquiries" several months after Liv's death

it’s not like it’s the same thing that happens when you’re “obscurant” in the pressBut their storytelling is always on the line and has the power to push Musk commentsI don't know。

Glenn released a video on April 17 at his home station, Glenn Renals Trump's Chess Board for the Golden Age, from the United States meat supply problem to the left-wing deliberate acts of economic damage, and the guest of honour is Liv's mother Rebecca Perrotto. Together, they reviewed the history of NASA's director Jared Isaacman's contribution to Liv's dream and the list of questions Liv posed to Mask。

Liv Perrotto and ASTEROID deserve more attention

Back to the origin of the story, Liv Perrotto's "ASTEROLID" was originally a design for space and dreams。

It's just that when external factors collide, a story that is originally personal, is amplified into a narrative that can be traded and disseminatedWhatever the final move of ASTEROID, Liv Perrotto will be remembered by more people。
