A Rocket Scientist in the Making

In Williamsport’s hills, Liv dreamed of space. A “rocket scientist” at heart, she loved anime art and helping others. At 10, she faced undifferentiated sarcoma with courage, humor, and joy.

The Sketch That Changed Everything

Polaris Dawn, led by Jared Isaacman and powered by SpaceX, invited Liv to design a zero-G indicator. In 30 minutes, she drew a Shiba Inu astronaut inspired by Floki, naming it “Astroid.”

Astroid Reaches Orbit

Astroid flew on Polaris Dawn, floating in zero gravity and bringing Liv pure joy. Replica plushies sold worldwide, raising millions—at her request—for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Her Final Dream

Even as her health faded, Liv wished to meet Elon Musk and ask 8 questions, ending with: make Astroid SpaceX’s mascot? Days before she passed, he called. On Apr 16, 2026, her mom Rebecca shared it with Glenn Beck.
