Liv's Stargrace Foundation

Where Stars Meet Grace.One child, one family, one dream at a time.

Olivia 'Liv' Perrotto — the girl who designed SpaceX's mascot

Liv was born July 28, 2010 and went to sleep in Christ January 14, 2026.

She was ten when they found the cancer. She was fifteen when she changed the world.

Olivia Perrotto was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive sarcoma at age ten and spent the next five years being remarkable about it. She designed the zero-gravity indicator for the Polaris Dawn mission — the historic spaceflight that completed the first commercial spacewalk. Three months after she went to sleep, Elon Musk answered her eight handwritten questions on X. Her "Asteroid" sketch then became the official mascot of SpaceX.

You can change the world by helping other kids like me. Keep going.

    Olivia sketched Asteroid — a Shiba Inu in an astronaut suit — as the zero-gravity indicator for Polaris Dawn. Elon Musk honored her final wish and made it SpaceX's official mascot.
