NASA has a huge history of nerdy names with mythological references, allegedly rituals too
Most people doing the science there are likely on the spectrum, so I wouldn't expect anything less
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Parsons
Founded JPL and Aerojet He was also a Thelemite occultist
Wow, and doesnt he look just like you might imagine one.
The tv show strange angel is about him and its wild.
Oh wow! I just learned about this dude yesterday lmao
Atrocity Guide just posted a video about him recently, wild shit
He also got scammed by Elron Hubbard out of his mansion and fortune which Hubbard basically used to found scientology
One of the rockets sprays water at the sun.
This is to see what would happen, but is also an attempt at extinguishing the sun.
This reminds me of: https://youtu.be/kq7DDk8eLs8
Adding more hydrogen will make the sun burn faster, so I guess spraying water will extinguish the sun a little earlier than it otherwise would.
Didn't Cyclops convince a Sentinel to do something similar?
A word for this is ‘backronym’
Literally the plot of American Gods
Don't piss off Aten
Apep... I mean... I get why they'd want to extinguish the sun, I can't imagine they had a good time in grade school with a name like "Apep..."

NO.
Ya know what happened to Apep(the deity)?
He got his fucking ass kicked by Ra. Hell, if I remember right, he also gets his ass kicked by Horus at least once.
Basically, don't fuck with the sun. It's got hands. And a beak.
We stand for Sol
We stand against false gods.
That looks kinda like the guy who played Ragnar in "Vikings."
(cautiously checks for weird things like too many fingers, armor features that make nonsense, or other visual anomalies before cautiously asking...)
What's this from?
It looks pretty rad.
Watching the two on the left go from hardnosed atheist commandos to saying “Praise Sol” with conviction, what a wild fucking trip of a show.
I’m still upset that this was canceled.
I thought these were Whitecloaks from WoT at first and then my dumbass was like "no, Whitecloaks have golden sunbursts on the chest of their uniforms, not red. Wait, what about The Hand Of the Light? No, that's crimson shepherd's crooks, not sunbursts"
That continued for a while before I noticed their fucking guns
Doesnt he get his ass kicked by Ra nightly as Ra travels through the underworld every night?
I'm fairly certain you're right, I just can't remember if it was that exact attempt at fucking with the Sun that started that, or if that was another time.
Because Ra has nothing but burning hatred for Apep, and it was well damned earned. Snake refuses to learn the lesson.
Look it doesn't matter much to me my heart weighs way more than a feather
the Romans knew the sun as Sol Invictus, or "The Unconquerable Sun". Ever hear the story about the man who conquered the sun?
Me either
Mao. Why do you think the East is Red?
