We talk to each other via technology, our phones, computers, and tablets, almost every day.  Do you ever wonder how our voices and information actually get transmitted through our devices and to their intended destinations?  Well, what if we wanted to send information to the other side of the solar system?  We talk to special guest Germaine Aziz about just that.  Then the center of the solar system stops by for an all new "Did You Know...?"  AND we talk about the importance of PI - all on this episode of REACH. Hosts: Brian Holden and Meredith Stepien Written by: Sandy Marshall with Nate DuFort, Meredith Stepien and Brian Holden. Co-Created, Produced by: Nate DuFort and Sandy Marshall Edited by: Nate DuFortMusic composed by: Jesse CaseCasting Consultant: Beth Kligerman Logo by: Steven LyonsSpecial thanks to:Germaine Aziz, Deep Space Network Aperture Enhancement Project System Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
