Summary
Jack Parsons is the subject of this week’s show. Jack was one of the principal founders of both the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Aerojet Engineering Corporation. He invented the first rocket engine to use a castable, composite rocket propellant, and pioneered the advancement of both liquid-fuel and solid-fuel rockets. Oh, and he also summoned the devil, was besties with Aleister Crowley, and practiced magick. You know, normal rocket scientist stuff. This week we dive into the life and times of Jack Parsons. Plus, Conspiracy Bot actually succeeds on Shark Tank (really Mr. Wonderful?), in unrelated news he now has a jingle for his Bot Booze (it’s stolen), and Dan Kozuh of TheHardTimes.net makes a return visit to the Lower 4th to talk his new book Lingeria (we’re as surprised as you are). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never summoned a demon to get a science experiment to work, we have a robot for that - Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week’s research sources:Research Assistant – Raymond Walden IVBooksSex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons | John CarterStrange Angel: The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons | George PendleWormwood Star: The Magickal Life of Marjorie Cameron | Spencer KansaVideosJack Parsons Biographical Compilation - https://youtu.be/qAvNv2zt2VoJack Parsons: 'Sex Magic', Drugs, and Rocket Science - https://youtu.be/bqprZIfcsTsWebsitesWikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Parsons_(rocket_engineer)Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babalon_WorkingEncyclopedia Britannica - https://bit.ly/2T9SmaBNY POST - https://nyp.st/2GSc9VPHUFFPOST - https://bit.ly/2HbSmQgMedium - https://bit.ly/2UgSW2QThe Guardian - https://bit.ly/2HaOjnpMotherboard - https://bit.ly/2EHC7szSpace Safety Magazine - https://bit.ly/1DSNAz6Gizmodo - https://bit.ly/2IWXH0eLingeria - https://www.facebook.com/LingeriaBook
