Suppose you tell us who? It sure wasn't Jack Parsons; he was dead 6 years before NASA was created. It's first administrator was T. Keith Glennan.
And it is a stretch to say that Parsons "started JPL" when it was other persons from the previous GALCIT organization who formed JPL. Parsons was involved in JATO rocket motor development at Aerojet. When Aerojet was sold to General Tire and Rubber, the sale was contingent on the expulsion of Parsons for his occult interests and activities.
If you know who started the NASA rocket program the patch wouldn’t be a surprise.
Yeah, the guy who started JPL was a satanist.
