"Jack Parsons: Jet Propelled Antichrist" tells the story of a pivotal figure in rocketry and the founding of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which continues to be at the forefront of space exploration. He was also deeply involved in the occult, practicing magic and considered a sorcerer. The prominent occultist Aleister Crowley famously declared Parsons his son. Parsons embraced the title "The Antichrist" and faced repeated scrutiny from the FBI. At 38, he died in a widely reported explosion, officially deemed a scientific accident, though alternative explanations continue to be debated.
