Heaven’s Gate Website: https://heavensgate.com/

In 1997, the Heaven’s Gate members committed ritual suicide in order to be beamed aboard an alien vessel. Two of the members ‘stayed behind’ and maintain the website to this day: Mark and Sarah King. They violated the rules of the cult by marrying each other. But despite this, they remained involved. Last I heard they lived in Phoenix. They were in a legal battle over custody of various Heaven’s Gate items, which was settled in 2019. I haven’t found any more recent news on them since.
 
I still recall when I first heard the news of the mass suicide. It was over the radio while I was on car trip. Also I like how that website hasn't changed since then. Like the first Space Jam website, it's like a time capsule of the late '90s net. Space background. No "mobile layout", "social media" links, nor even embedded YT videos, AFAIK.

Nichelle Nichols' brother Thomas was involved in Heaven's Gate and participated in the mass suicide. What a horrifying flipside to Nichelle's positive space related work. Her role on Star Trek and her promotional work with NASA.

Is that old Serial Experiments Lain website still up? The one where you could type a message right onto the page anywhere you wanted?

They had one cool ass looking patch.

YT didn't exist then, naturally. ...another artefact is the darktext SEO terms at the bottom of the page. Real early search engine work.

Its sad, as far as cults go they were one of the most inoffensive ones . No big conspiracies or human trafficking networks, blackmail or terrorism attempts. Just a bunch of sad dorks
Many of them got themselves neutered, telling the future of the current mass cult we're dealing with.
 
well they did a mass suicide
Thats the sad part.

thats actually the better alternative when you consider cults who were rape factories like the The Family International. These guys were so far in the opposite direction they cut their own dicks off.
 
Used to live in a region and location with weather and a lack of ground lighting conditions that afforded an exceptionally clear view of the Hale-Bopp comet every night as it passed. Good times out on the patio having a few beers and leaning back to just take it all in.

Then there's the flip-side of the memories, and the news of the insane Marshall Applewhite and his cult. A relatively minor but still awesome celestial event, followed by ritual cult suicide. The world was a slightly saner place back then, even if they weren't.

Wasn't it cool? Super clear double tail and all.
