Meet Jack Parsons, the wild Pasadena genius who co-founded NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory with backyard rocket blasts and solid-fuel breakthroughs – all while diving headfirst into occult sex rituals, summoning demons as a kid, and running a free-love commune packed with swords, drugs, and demonic ceremonies. This forgotten rocketry pioneer's life is a sensational explosion of brilliance and dark obsession.

Step inside Microsoft's record-breaking anechoic chamber – a sound-swallowing void so dead quiet that your own heartbeat sounds like roaring thunder – this engineering freakshow strips away all noise, leaving visitors hallucinating and teetering on madness after within minutes.

That spine-tingling rush where everything feels eerily familiar, like you've looped back in time or spotted a crack in reality – is it a psychic echo, a simulation error, or some deeper brain freakout? Scientists dive into this everyday enigma that's haunted humans for centuries. Check out the science of Deja Vu on Vice.
