Jack Parsons, the rocket pioneer, is a fascinating character. He played a major role in developing America’s rocket program, ultimately helping humanity reach the moon. He was a no-nonsense engineer and chemist. But then…he was also a total weirdo. As a convert to Aleister Crowley’s religion Thelema, he was deeply into things like occult ceremonies, sex magic orgies, casting spells, and invoking the goddess Babalon to visit Earth.
