From meme to microgravity.

The legendary Asteroid Shiba wasn’t just imagined — it was physically sent into space aboard a Falcon 9 during the historic Polaris Dawn mission.

Carried inside with the crew, Asteroid became the mission’s zero-gravity indicator, floating once orbit was achieved. The rocket that made it happen? Falcon 9 Block 5.

Not fiction.
Not “inspired by space.”
Actually launched beyond Earth’s atmosphere on one of the most iconic rockets ever built.

Falcon 9 literally delivered Asteroid Shiba to the stars.
