Interesting. I just bought the book of the same name.

From an article about the occult history behind NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory:

Parsons' own religious and scientific pursuits have proven screen worthy. His life has recently been adapted in the CBS All Access series, "Strange Angel," based on the biography "Strange Angel: The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons" by George Pendle. Supercluster sat down with Pendle and show creator, producer, and writer Mark Heyman for exclusive interviews about the life of this rocket-scientist-genius-occultist-playboy.
