Rob Brougham, Co-Founder of Braided Communications, on Deep Space Communication

Braided was created to solve a seemingly unsolvable problem: how can astronauts on future deep space missions communicate effectively with Earth, despite the distance induced latency? With the creation of Braided Communications, Rob Brougham has been able to blend his experience in technology and communications with his passion for healthcare and astrophysics.

In this episode, Rob tries (not for the first time) to explain to Ben how Space Braiding works and why it is so important for the future of space exploration.
