Our mutual Close Personal Friend Adam Savage&trade; introduced us, of all things. He runs a site called <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.asitecalledfred.com\/2010\/05\/23\/phil-plait-ken-plume-chat\/\">ASiteCalledFred<\/a> and has lots of podcast interviews with interesting people, and he decided to break that streak and talk to me. <\/p><p>His chats are pretty free-form; he asks questions but lets things go where they may. He learned a lesson with me, no doubt. He let me ramble about The Monkees, my daughter&rsquo;s first word, NASA, constellations, NASA, and I think NASA. We really did bop around from topic to topic, making it a Faulkneresque rapids ride of skepticism and science and some mild stabs at humor (on my part). I do talk at length about where I think NASA is, was, will be, and should be, so you might get a kick out of that. Give it a listen.<\/p><p>He does have <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.asitecalledfred.com\/category\/interviews\/\">a long list of interviews with some pretty cool people<\/a> (Stephen Colbert! Tom Kenny! Julie Gardner! John Hodgman! Dave Foley! Olivia Wilde!), so check those out as well.<\/p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/qUduhn1jZmmcFz9DSl59aWWrLd4\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/090db_di\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/qUduhn1jZmmcFz9DSl59aWWrLd4\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/090db_di\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/090db_WE0zIc8DtW0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/25544_G3h4jE6tJeU\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I met Ken Plume last year at Dragon*Con.
