Escape Velocity: Jack Parsons and the New Magick

Jack Parsons wanted to break free, from both the limits of Earth and the boundaries of traditional early 20th century American thought. He devoted his short life to the scientific pursuit of rocket engineering and the occult exploration of magick.

In this episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, Robert and Christian explore the work and wonder that moved his life.
