where we want to do that is at mars. we need to invest in things to get to mars.f we invest in an asset stage to go along with the people going to, it will cost more money -- going there, it will cost more money. going there interferes with just the lander. building back assent stage and return capability is taking longer to do that in time. the cost per person on the surface of mars is less if they stay there. if we start bringing people back -- the biggest thing to me is all of this comes along on earth with humanity being able to advance, do all the wondrous things and it is going to cost billions of dollars. and we are going to select some human beings to do that. we are going to train them. dear going to send them there -- we are going to send them there. i have gone and come back from a place. let me ask you. what do you think you are going to do with the people that go there and bring them back to continue to pay off the investment of their being the first pioneers, the building up of a growing settlement? they can do far more by keeping mars occupied, help

. >> thank you very much supervisor mar. >> i'll agree there was a good and thorough discussion not only with our lobbyists in san francisco but the members of the finance committee i'll support the recommendation to oppose and my resident from my community district 1 and others have been watching this and ask we take an opposed position as well i stronger urge we innovate amend this and support the finance departments decision i want to say another item on the same page right below in the summary that was given us to ab 40 legislation assemblyman bill kings legislation regarding the golden gate and sidewalk and bike and pedestrian fees i plan to introduce a resolution at the full board urging the support for the position at the next finance committee and taking a strong support position for bill kings legislation let me talk about this for ab 40 it is legislation that will ban charging a toll for pedestrians use of golden gate i'm sure you're aware of the golden gate is a public treasure owned below the people nont not only in san francisco but san franciscans from the greater bay area

. >> what's the single hardest thing about getting to mars?convincing people it's worth it is the single most difficult thing, convincing the american taxpayer, the administration, the congress that it's really worth this, and that there is a benefit to be gained is probably the single most -- much more difficult than the technological challenges out there. >> do you wish, though, there was a much more ambitious funding -- >> fareed, see, you're going to get me in trouble. yes. i'm the nasa administrator. i always wish for much, much more. this is really hard. and this is very risky. and we are going to lose people and things along the way, but it is so worth it. because what we are going to do for humanity by making us a multi-planet species is unimaginable. it's mind boggling the way it's going to be an advantage to humanity. we can't even imagine it now. >>> coming up 3-d printers can make some amazing things these days. but what about printing human organs? one man says that ten years from now, he will be able to print an entire human hear

maybe we can go to mars in one swoop. maybe we can't and the asteroid mission is a great way to test our systems out. we want to be successful when we go to mars -- that is a huge leap and a really long journey. this man went a long distance from our planet and it is a heck of a lot bigger. -- lot further. >> can i add a thought? it has to do with budget. it is always going to be expensive for what we are talking about trying to do. i mentioned for 40 years the nasa budget has been less than 1% of the federal budget. for the last 15 years it has been driving down to 0.4%. congress decides to put more money, otherwise this is just talk. the budget has got to go up for nasa. that is another reason i feel very strongly that nasa has to be operating more efficiently and not doing some of the things which would be marginal. you have to focus on what has to be done. siv's budget is way too low to do the things we talked about doing here this afternoon. absolutely. i would like to point out that i have a study being done at purd

and i want to thank supervisor mar and supervisor cohen for cosponsoring it. requiring health warnings for stationary advertisements like billboards and other signs for sodas and sugary beverages -- quote -- warning drinking beverages with added sugar contributes to to diabetes and tooth decay. we know warning are an important public health strategy and they have worked very well in cigarettes all advertising has to inform consumers about some of some of the diseases cigarettes cause and the same should happen here. we know these drinks are fueling the explosion of type 2 diabetes and other health problems and absolutely as a society need to reduce consumption and this legislation will help us to do that it applies to any paper poster or billboard ads posted on any structure whether it's it's a transit structure or a building or vehicle. it doesn't include newspapers magazines or periodicals because those tend to be produced outside of the city and it would be challenging or illegal for us to require that warnings be placed on them and the size will have to be
