Summary

This is a clean release of a previously released episode, there is no new content, only edits to suit a younger audience

In the intro, the Grimerican's talk briefly about the newest NSA scandal. Check out Dan Carlin's "Common Sense" podcast for a balanced view. The guys were recently on "The Nat and Marie Podcast". Check out this great new web culture podcast!

Darren and Graham have a fascinating chat with Phil Metzger, Senior Research Physicist for NASA's KSC Swamp Works. It's hard to tell the difference between science fiction and science fact in this episode.

They talk about Phil's NASA awards and how his positive attitude, teamwork and initiative enabled him to create his own lab "Swamp Works". Phil mentions how they plan on mining space and the collaboration between all the leading edge space mining companies. It's truly an inspiring tale about everything from inspiring young people to work hard in science, turning space matter into water for radiation shielding, or 3d printing of metal equipment converted directly from extra planetary soil.

How are we going to hunt down asteroids and lasso them into the moon's orbit? Listen to Phil tell Grimerica how its' going to be done. Find out what we think about UFO's, the Fermi paradox, and robotic space mining competitions and much much more.

0:00.0	This week on the Grim cool. Hello guys welcome back to Grimerica. We've got a great guest tonight. The interview ran quite a bit longer than expected. So we're
0:35.3	going to keep the intro pretty short and sweet. But of course with me as always is
0:38.9	Graham. How's it going Graham? I'm doing really good. Pretty excited. so obviously the big news is this Edward
0:45.2	Snowden fella yeah NSA leaks doesn't surprise me at all what surprises me is
0:50.4	how the mainstream media is actually covering this? I think it's kind of weird how a
0:56.5	29 year old kid that with fairly inexperienced, I don't think you worked there more than a couple of years,
1:06.0	if that.
1:07.0	And he's got access to this information seems weird to me.
1:10.0	I don't know.
1:11.0	I think something's up.
1:12.0	I don't know. I think that's part of the point of it is the fact that anybody in that
1:17.1	Intelligence community can get access if they want to anybody
1:20.9	So you know that's that's the point. If anybody wants a really balanced view and
1:27.8	opinion on this, check out Dan Carlin's Common Sense Podcasts. He's the one, you know, political podcast that I like podcast he's the one you know political podcast that I like and

1:38.8	he's kind of mainstream he's independent and the government and the political establishment
1:44.4	takes this guy seriously they listen to his podcast and so do I and he's got a
1:49.3	really good take on what's going on with this. I think it's a smoke screen. Well, well, Adobe back doors and
1:58.5	gets in bed with Apple. Because what was it? It was just recently, it was just recently that Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch left for Apple after basically battling him for years over Flash and whatnot.
2:15.0	And all of a sudden he's gone to Apple right after Steve Jobs dies.
2:20.0	Steve Jobs, he was so adamantly against a flash on his devices, looks like Adobe's going to sneak in there after all.
2:29.0	And that basically puts Adobe on, we'll put Adobe on almost every device on the planet.
