and it's the first time it has ever been done by an american private company, intuitive machines. there was a collective holding of the breath until they got confirmation that the lander was on the moon. now what we can confirm without a doubt, is our equipment is on the surface of the moon and we are transmitting . >> houston odysseus has found his new home, a new adventure in sight. >> science, innovation and american leadership in space as well. all of that aced the landing of a lifetime. >> this was truly a private public venture. odysseus was launched on a spacex x rocket. it will explore the moon's south pole. this is before nasa sends humans back to the moon in late 2026. that's not that far away. by the way. all we've seen is the simulation video of the

blazers in the community. today, we're introducing you to a man who is actually leading america's infrastructure research. >> since calvin simms grew up in the bay area and graduated from san jose state, and he's now leading one of the largest construction companies in the world. >> reporter carlos granda from our sister station in la has his story. >> i always have to challenge myself to go do better. >> calvin simms says. that's who he is. and it's that strength that has resulted in his rise to

be a senior vice president at bechtel, one of the largest companies in the world. he says when he first got there, some great mentors helped him along the way. >> shirley douglas was the first african american project manager at bechtel. when i was hired as a college hire into the company, she took me under her wing. there are many people that didn't look like me. that helped me become who i am, just like my mentor did. that happened to look like me, but it was others who embraced me that took me in and included me for who i was as an individual. >> many people might not know what bechtel does, but the company builds a lot of things you see all around you. major projects, including airports, water systems, mass transit, and more. when i stepped into 50 beale street, our headquarters there, there was nobody that really looked like me. >> and it was for me to say that i want to change this. i want to make a difference. >> his first field assignment was in kuwait right after the

war. the company was putting out the massive oil fires, and he is proud that he and his team restored kuwait to its pre-war. levels. he was also sent to china for several years, and now he's back in california. he is working on the massive sepulveda transit corridor, which would connect the san fernando valley to lax and the west side. it would move 120,000 people a day and off the roads. >> just incredible. when you think about it actually going from the valley to the west side and to be able to do that in 20 minutes, he says. >> for all these years, it's always been a partnership with his wife, moving everyone all over the world for years and they both say family values are very important. >> when he started moving around, especially going out of country, our children were very small. they were toddlers. so our first move as an entire family, our youngest was three and then our oldest was four. >> family values are very important to the company and we do these things together, sims

says. >> after all these years, there are still challenges and it's always about helping people. how do we do better? >> it's about doing better. so without a challenge, there's no opportunity. so we embrace the challenge. >> i'm carlos granda, abc seven news and in oakland high school unveiled a new mural for black history month. >> it was created by the students of the ericka huggins campus of met west high school. they designed it after a discussion with huggins herself. it was a way to honor the former black panther and give life to the ideas she shared with them. >> this is while the seat is growing up. there's also the bee that's giving day pollen that's really like a little nice feature. i like this is a dragon because we met with dragons. the dragons are usually always rising up, always rise up. even if it seems like you're not rising up, you're always learn something new, so you're never technically degrading the loudest message i want to convey is love. >> and in the center of the mural, that's what you see a heart and the unity between communities as well.

>> this mural now lives in the student lounge as a symbol of unity and community. it is so well thought out. yes, yes. great. >> uh- probably getting a lot of mail because we have a primary election coming up in less than two weeks, but november will be the big one. >> in addition to president san francisco, residents will be voting for mayor. incumbent mayor london breed is facing a tough fight at least according to a new poll. what that means

conservative republican steve garvey is the wrong choice for the senate. ...our republican opponent here on this stage has voted for donald trump twice. mr. garvey, you voted for him twice... as your own man, what is your decision? garvey is wrong for california. but garvey's surging in the polls. fox news says garvey would be a boost to republican control of the senate. stop garvey. adam schiff for senate. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

that poll found that 71% of those surveyed either disapprove or strongly disapprove of

breed's performance, and that is translating to fewer potential votes. the poll shows mark farrell, who you may recall, was the interim mayor a few years ago in the lead, and 38% of voters still undecided. all right. joining me more to talk more about this abc seven news insider phil matier. what do you make of the chronicle poll and the 71% surprise you at all know this poll is the latest in a series that we've seen that have shown that san francisco mayor london breed is in trouble and has a fight on her hands. >> the 71% disapproval sort of parallels a chamber of commerce poll that came out a couple of weeks ago that showed that 71% of the or 75% of the city voters felt that the city was going in the wrong direction. so we have sort of these sort of the same reoccurring themes. one, the city is going in the wrong direction. when asked why public safety uh- drugs on the streets, this theft, hoang affordability, sort of that same homelessness. homelessness. right there. so

you have a discontent with people. they might agree with her philosophically, but they don't necessarily feel like she's getting the job done. >> if you were to look at the upside for her, i think 38% of undecided gives you some room to make up some ground. >> well, that's that's the tricky part, larry. i mean, you could sit there and go, that gives you room to make up ground, but after four years or five years of being mayor, if you've got 40% of the people that aren't sure they want to vote for you, that's not necessarily good. it's kind of like they've already seen the product. they've driven it, they've been behind the we'll see. that's the difference between an incumbency and a free for all and a free for all. you can make up. you can sell yourself to a lot of voters. and that's what her opponents are going to do. they have the luxury of being able to sell or resell themselves to the voters. as an alternative to mayor london breed, she has to run on her record. the arrest doesn't matter. >> all right. so let's say we've got eight months to go before.

before the election. so there's time to swing things in her favor. if you were advising london breed, what would you tell her? >> i would tell her that if you take a look at this with her opponents, daniel lurie ash-shafi'i, who is on the board of supervisors and as you said, former supervisor and interim mayor mark farrell, they're all so far pretty much saying the same things. what she's doing is too little, too late. so possibly if you just doubled down and you really got tough, if you really said we are going to do something, we're going to finally make a breakthrough because people aren't seeing a difference. it's not all the mayor's fault. there's a load of reasons in there, whether it be court decisions that haven't gone in favor of what she wanted to do or commissions that haven't, you know, followed out what she wanted to do. but ultimately, the buck and the blame stops with her. so you would either you would double down because she's not going to win it with the lefties, the far lefties in this town. she's got to get the moderates and so far the moderates are split. but how do you double down if you try to

get something done and then the courts rule against you in terms of homelessness, you know that is the great paradox of politics today. you can't necessarily do what you want to do. there are at every step there is a stop sign. and a lot of this is san francisco created it itself. over the years and years leading up to london, breed and for example, we had the progress of attorney uh- chesa boudin, elected as district attorney, and we had a school board that decided to rename all the schools at the height of the covid because they weren't politically correct. voters reacted to that by saying, no, this is going too far. that was a revolutionary change in san francisco politics. it went from the left to no, we've gone too far left. we're going back to the center. breed was pushing that, but now that we're at more of the center, that the voice is saying, well, why? why isn't it better? why can't we do better? why aren't we doing better? it says, well, i took you so long to get me to this place, and that's too bad. politics is about not about what you did for

me yesterday. it's what you're going to do for me today and tomorrow. >> yeah, and the perception of what you're doing. yeah. >> politics is perception. >> yeah. thank you. phil. okay >> the san francisco municipal transit agency is looking at ways to increase revenue without raising fares. revenue from bus fares and parking is still not at pre-pandemic levels. tonight, the agency will lay out its options at a public meeting. the sfmta proposes eliminating the 50 cent clipper card discount rate, adding parking fines by 5, raising the cost of residential parking permits and reinstating taxi fees. sf muni faces a $12.7 million deficit over the next two years. bart riders are feeling better about riding the system, at least according to a new survey. the passenger experience survey shows overall satisfaction at 81. a significant increase over last year and the highest showing in more than a decade. passengers say they feel safer on the trains. 220% of passengers say

buying food is taking a bigger bite out of our budgets. the

wall street journal reports. consumers are spending 11.3% of their income on food. that is the highest since 1991. california has the highest food prices. surprise, surprise. about $300 a week. eating out is also costing 5% more than last year. yeah, we are really feeling it. mhm. i mean even just take out you can't feed a family of four for less than you're like what is this. it's like we went to the french laundry except we didn't. >> yeah. >> and we have five people and it's really crazy because i remember during the pandemic we would go and try to support businesses by picking up food or ordering in, um, and then you fast forward to inflationary times and you think, okay, well, everything cost of living, everything's going up. >> but now that we're kind of, you know, coming out of the pandemic and inflationary times and all that, it's just sort of disturbing that things haven't come down. >> yeah. and you kind of just have to get used to going to the

grocery store and paying eight bucks for good eggs or, or, you know, $6 for milk or $7 for bread and it's kind of crazy when you think about those prices. i mean, i feel like it was just a few years ago that you could get eggs for what, two bucks? 2.99? yeah right. and they also shrank the sizes like the haagen-dazs was 16 ounce. >> now it's 14. yeah, yeah. >> soda as well. uh- fans may be seeing a little more of giants players this season than the players are comfortable with. or maybe you're comfortable with. some players are complaining about the quality of the uniforms. the biggest issue is the material. it's so thin that the uniforms almost seem sheer. and it's not that the giants uniforms. this is all across major league baseball. there's a seattle player. you can see his his, uh, tucked in jersey showing through his pants. it's almost like see through uniforms , which i don't know, does that, uh, why are we going for the

the turtles have landed there. part of a group of loggerhead sea turtles that were released into the middle of the pacific ocean by stanford researchers and spencer christian, reports. their arrival may help solve an ocean going mystery. oh my dad. >> when we first met these endangered loggerhead sea turtles last year, they were plunging into the pacific, outfitted with satellite tracking devices. researchers from stanford have been waiting anxiously, hoping to learn if a mysterious, climate driven pathway is allowing some of the turtles to travel thousands of miles to the coast of california and mexico, crossing waters that are normally too cold for them. >> so the hypothesis is that under warm ocean conditions, we'll see more sea turtles make it to the north american coast. >> dana briscoe is a marine scientist with stanford's d'aw school of sustainability. she says the sea turtles seen here as colored lines in this

animation typically follow a food rich band of warm water known as the pacific transition zone, something like a floating buffet. but watch what happens in late october early november, as more than half a dozen sea turtles peel off heading south with three reaching the coastline of mexico and southern california. >> that's right, we have a milestone in our project. we have three sea turtles that have reached the north american coast and are doing very different things, briscoe and her fellow stanford dora researcher larry crowder, have hypothesized that the breakaway turtles are slipping through a kind of thermal corridor, a warm water channel they believe opens up during warm el nino years and essentially slams shut when waters cool back down. >> professor crowder says this winter is tracking data could potentially confirm the el nino effect, and it happens to fit pretty well with our hypothesis that we put out there in advance. >> so it's really exciting

because we're doing an experiment at an oceanographic scale. scale. we're testing a hypothesis this nobody's ever done that before. >> and if their luck holds out in a few months, the stanford team will get a chance to test the flip side of the theory with a colder la nina current potentially in the forecast. just a chance to see if the cooler waters shut down the thermal corridor this year, releasing another 25 turtles, and we hope to get the same amount of information as as this year. >> and we can compare and contrast and see under el nino versus la nina conditions, what will the turtles do the same and what will they do differently? >> and whether some do or don't make it to the coast of north america, but ultimately, the stanford team believes its research may also provide a look into the future for uncovering critical clues to how climate change and warming ocean waters might affect the migration patterns of both the sea turtles and many other marine creatures as well. at stanford, spencer
