Can a black arts occultist by night also be a pioneering rocket scientist by day? Sure can. We are kicking off Season 1: Los Angeles (and the Dark City series!) with the unlikely but true life story and accomplishments of Jack Parsons, one of the principal founders of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. Coming of age in the 1920s and early 1930s, Jack lived in a world that believed a trip to the moon would never be possible. Always one to push the boundaries of convention, what started as Jack’s scrappy experiments with homemade explosives in the Arroyo Seco would eventually evolve into the foundation for space travel. So why not also think running black magic rituals with Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard leads to great things? Join us as we share all of the scandalous and mind boggling details of the double life that helped shape Los Angeles as a birthplace of aerospace technology and Scientology.
