Jack "Marvel" Whiteside Parsons was the right hand man to Aleister Crowley, a founder of modern US rocket science, and early partner to L Ron Hubbard. Celebrate July 4th by investigating this major character in the birth of our age. Why a major motion picture has not been made about Jack Parsons is at first, amazing to most. If such a film were made, it would reveal a great deal about the rise to power of L Ron Hubbard, the occult reality of the birth of rocket science and the atom bomb. An attempt to make a film about Parsons has been attempted by David Duchovny and Marilyn Manson (to name 2), but Scientology will not let that happen.

Shouldn't he have eaten a placenta by now?
