Chapter two
Why “Martian”
Marvin was a real Havanese in Musk's public story. The name became more than a playful reference: it placed the dog inside the same Mars-focused imagination that has shaped Musk's public space vision.

His story
Marvin is one of Elon Musk's most beloved dogs. Musk named him after the iconic character Marvin the Martian, a name that reflects his goal of exploring Mars and his dream of leading humanity there.
Elon Musk publicly gave his little dog the name of the classic Looney Tunes Martian character.
A handmade Marvin the Martian helmet turned the reference into a visible identity.

The rebirth
Marvin 7055 once reached a market cap above $20M and received a reply from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Related sale proceeds were directed to charity.
Historical constraints meant 7055 could not continue building. Its public record remains the foundation for what came next.
Marvin 1101 is the rebirth of 7055, carrying the story forward with the community building again.
The mission
A name on Earth.
