Her final question focused on a personal creation. Perrotto designed a Shiba Inu plush toy named “Asteroid” as a zero-gravity indicator for the Polaris Dawn space mission. She asked whether the item could become the official mascot for SpaceX.

I hope they make her toy the mascot for the mission. What a dear, sweet beautiful girl.

by the way, she passed away due to an aggressive cancer. The type hasn’t been put online, only that it was an aggressive form of cancer

Story brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting. I hope the little bit of fame brings her mom & dad comfort. And wouldn't it be great if SpaceX adopted her plush toy?

At 15 years old, Liv Perrotto’s biggest dream was to meet
@elonmusk
. She had even written out a list of questions to ask him. Her mother
@rebeccaperrotto
told me that just days before she passed away from cancer, she had a chance to speak with Elon, but she was too tired and asked him to call later. The questions still sit on her nightstand, unanswered. Liv's mother shared them with me in hopes that Elon would change that today.

Polaris Dawn space mission will not take place for at least 5-6 years or until the US gets a colony set up on the Lunar South Pole.
