he set up one for mars also. that was a little more difficult but then to use that concept starting off in order - - in earth orbit and then finally slow down when it gets to the moon. there is a lot of innovative stuff it will become international thing and we will have competitors i don't know china can be big enough for you don't necessarily want the government. but jeff bezos is more likely to go to the moon to set up the base on the south pole and use the water. i hope he does do that. >> so with life on earth we have water is there enough water on mars quick. >> very good question. all of the studies continue to show there is water not only at one of the polls and of course it evaporates with the seasons but you may have seen the photos taken from different times apart looking at a crater and you can see a stream is probably mud and / that is clearly a liquid of some sort carbon dioxide cannot exist as liquid that water can. so right now it looks as if it's possible we just don't know how much of it. >> one

supervisor mar, do you have any comments? >> supervisor mar: yes. i would like to thank both candidates for your leadership that you're already showing and contributions to our city in your respective areas and still young leaders, yeah, it's just great to have you, you know, so actively involved in our city and our communities. i appreciated mr. williams' perspective on how entertainment is important to our communities in improve our quality of life, especially for those facing gentrification and quality of life issues. but i think i'm inclined to support the reappointment of miss caminong just given her depth of experience on the entertainment commission and her experience in these communities. i would like to make a motion that we recommend the reappointment of dori caminong to the entertainment commission with positive recommendation as a committee report. >> supervisor walton: thank you, supervisor mar. we're on the same page, so we'll take that motion, move it forward without objection. >> clerk: this item will be recommended as a committee re

we want it to be done by 2024, because it allows us to get to mars when we want to get to mars.s, there are certain windows of time where the planets align and you can get there. we want to get to mars, and this administration is pushing strongly to get that done. i think we will get that done. emily: let's talk about what happens -- if we do have another moon moment, what happens beyond that? we will hear from an executive later who says we should focus on the problems on earth, not in space. why should we go back to the moon, be exploring mars? back in the apollo days, there were the same naysayers who said, why don't we focus on earth first? while that is a very noble thing to say, when you look at the technology and economic activity that has come out of the apollo days, all the things that we have that are driving the economy here that we did not have before -- there is a sign up in my office that says, "we landed on the moon before there were wheels on luggage." so many things. there's a laundry list of things that we have that are driving economic activity. billions of do

>> mars direct. president trump: it seems to me mars direct. who knows better than these people? they have been doing this stuff for a long time. what about the concept of mars direct? >> the challenge is if we go direct to mars, there is going to be a lot of things we haven't yet proven. we need to think about this. we need to use the resources of another world and own -- in order to live and work for long periods of time. thatoon has water and ice we discovered in 2009. water and ice, it represents air to breathe in water to drink. it is also rocket fuel. and mr. available, president, that is a market, and available market where some of these commercial guys are interested in going to the moon utilize that resource for their own stays on the moon. they could before tourism. it could before resources. trump: they haven't landed that close to the portion of the moon you talking about? >> that's correct. in the apollo era we landed in the equatorial region. from 1969 until 2009, many people believed the moon was bone dry. now we know there is hundreds of millions of tons of water.

thank you again. >> chair mar: chris hansen. i yield my time to gloria berry. >> for clarity there is not a board rule to yield time to speakers who have spoken. ms. berry has used her minute. we will go to the next speak concern or the man yielding his time if he wants to come back. >> i would like her message to get out. i would like to thank is that where we are at. >> no, i'm sorry. >> this legislation touches on sf history of harming black people specific racist laws existed. nothing has been done. a report in 1993, 2009 and 2015 was done and no action. our concern is that the data presented show black people could besicouldconsistently ares of racism. >> you can leave a written statement. >> chair mar: next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i am norma garcia for the economic development agency. our staff works hard to retain the integrity and the dignity of the latino community in the san francisco mission district. too often it involves the impact of illinois applied city of san francisco epoll sees. we are excited abou

>> mars directs. direct.ems to me mars who knows better than these people? what about the concept of mars direct? >> the challenge is, if we go directed to mars, there will be a lot of things we haven't yet proven. we need to use the resources of another world in order to live and work for long periods of time. the moon has hundreds of millions of tons of water ice we discovered in 2009. that represents life support. it is also rocket fuel. hydrogen and oxygen. mr. president, that is an available market where some of these commercial guys are interested in going to the moon fortilize the resource their own space on the moon. it could be for tourism or resources. >> they haven't landed that close to that portion of the moon you're talking about. >> that is correct, in the apollo era, it was in the equatorial region. and 2009, many believed the moon was bone dry and now we know there is water. we need to learn how to use it so we can live and work and ultimately late gives us the opportunity to go to mars. >> you feel that landing on the moon first and figurin

supervisor mar? >> supervisor mar: yes. i just briefly wanted to thank supervisor haney for all of your work on this and your staff, as well, and express my support for this effort to create more public accountability and oversight to the department of homelessness and supportive housing. i also want to thank you for your work with the mayor's office on this to ensure that as this moves forward and it's created, that it best incorporates our existing advi advisory bodies and we have a commission and oversight, and i would like to be added as a cosponsor. >> chair ronen: great. so if we can accept the amendments without objection, without objection, those amendments pass. [applause] >> chair ronen: well, we have to actually pass it now. >> supervisor haney: so my understanding is it has to be continued and come back next -- >> chair ronen: i did not realize that. thank you. that wasn't the case with the other measure. >> clerk: every amendment to a ballot measure requires an additional hearing in the same committee, even if

many say lets aim for mars. and michael collins is a mars person. that's also what elon musk is suggesting. we are all talking about moon and mars. the question is what is your next big move? >> martha: looking at all of the other countries try to get to the moon -- india and israel and china -- does it feel like these other countries are trying hard too get into this space? that we are delayed in our next move? >> i think we are a little bit delayed. china went to the dark side of the moon. it's a big deal. it's a rage in china. there are other countries like israeli and egypt and brazil and italy that have been participating in things like the international space station. they would love to partner with the united states like buzz aldrin was suggesting. japan of course. i don't know if we can afford to go it alone to mars. it might be a group of nations working together. but if china gets too aggressive in space, it might be a new spur the way the soviet union was for the john f. kennedy era. can we beat china in space exploration? the key is to n

i will turn this over to supervisor mar. >> supervisor mar: thank you so much, chair, ronen, for allowings to hold this informational hearing today, and i'm proud to be this sponsor on this dark money measure. it's earned the support of eight of my colleagues. i'm also proud to share that it has all been endorsed by a number of important organizations, including represent us, friends of ethics, the harvey milk lgbtq democratic club, sf league of conservation voters, san francisco berniecrats, san francisco tomorrow, district 11 democratic club, d-6 democratic club, and several former ethics commissioners. to work towards a more democratic and equitiable future, we must start at the root. if we want to ensure just policies, if we want to ensure just outcomes, we need a just system. those in public office are entrusted to represent the public, and yet the money that fuels our elections is in large part private and fuels our super p.a.c.s who funnel large amounts of dark money in an attempt to buy elections. my constituents experienced this in district 4 last year when over $700,000 was dona

we have found complex organic compounds on mars, the building blocks for life are on mars. they're not on the moon at all, but they're all over mars. and the methane cycles of mars are commensurate with the seasons. we need to go find life on another world. and i know the probability of finding life on mars is going up >> which is an pretty incredible thing to say right now the fact that commercial space is really on this precipice of becoming a very big and very prominent industry now you've got virgin galactic poised to be public by the end of this year, i'm wondering what you think of that. and i think the idea of having a first-ever commercial human space flight company that's publicly traded. on the one hand, it brings a lot more attention to the sector and how far it's coming. on the other hand, we know space is hard and human space flight is even harder there's a lot of risk associated with it. >> nasa cares a lot about risk, but there is risk involved in space flight there is also risk involved in rock climbing and there's risk involved in hang gliding and in the pr
