Not really. The rockets were launched from the Wallops Island facility near Chincoteague, VA, as part of an eclipse study.

@ai6yr I am sure this was not covered in astrophysics class.

Oh, look, I missed the opportunity to hop into a portal to a dimension where any old dumb conspiracy theory doesn't go viral. #myth #eclipse

LOL I guess the blame for the "sex cult rocket" thing goes to one of the founders of JPL. #rockets https://daily.jstor.org/sex-cult-rocket-man/

Article: Sex-Cult Rocket Man (talking about Jack Parsons)

@ai6yr yeah the Jack Parsons story is nuts! Also intersects with one of America's worst people, L. Ron Hubbard.

Our history is far weirder than most people realize.

@ai6yr How do they know how much energy it takes to open a portal? Is that a technology that currently exists? A portal to what? I have questions. 🤔

@mjausson @ai6yr It's from an anime where they open portals with CERN (Stein's Gate?). Far too many conspiracies start as works of fiction that someone decided to take literally. I just want to be able to enjoy fiction without having to prove it isn't real some days.
