Summary
We look at the life and death of Jack Parsons, a rocket scientist by day, occultist by night, and the conspiracies surrounding his death. Support us directly: https://www.redwebpod.com In the 1920s and 30s, space travel seemed like something only possible in science fiction. But there were those who believed, who pushed, and who worked to establish the foundation of rocketry. One of those men scandalized the industry, working as a self-taught chemist by day, and an occultist by night. With a life full of drugs, parties, and black magick, he brought a whole new definition to “mad scientist."
