there are many risks to these missions mission there are technical risks there are health risks and one of the risks is the psychological risk of regretting that you weren't but it's a risk that the people that go will have to worry and they will have to decide do i want to take that risk or not now you mention that this is a this will be a major scientific experiment in manger technological experiment but to me this is also a major psychological experience experiment rather because we have never really tried anything like that and no matter how extensive is the training that you mentioned you can never prepare yourself for living in isolation on another planet and i know that the major part of your pitch is to inspire people around the world to show them the best of. humanity is specious but what if things go wrong and what if the those people rather than behaving in the best possible way of the visits what if they start behaving like spiders in a can that may actually show the very worst of human nature here afraid of that now i think of these questions come from someone who would nev

,, and the last affordable housing that i saw built in the mission was at 1880, mission, and there were only 20 units of, there were 40 units of, 220 units of housing so when we got 40 deeply affordable and the studios are starting at 2650 a month. and that is at just a block away from this site and so we are desperate in the neighborhood we. need affordable housing for working families, many of the low income family and formerly homeless families are now living in single room occupancy hotels and sometimes 350 square feet of space. for families that are up to four and five or more. and so, i really hope that you support this. and thank you for allowing me to speak. >> all right. i have a very large stack of speaker cards. i am going to allow a total of 45 minutes for the comments for this item. so, i want to ask everyone, and i want to get everybody to have a chance to speak but i would also like to ask you to use a little bit of self-restraint that there are people behind you and so one or two minutes should do it. i am going to start reading names if you can line up along the side of

and at the top of the list for evictions for no fault, evictions was the mission, the mission, the mission, 54 percent of residents in the mission, are rent burdened meaning that they are spending 30 percent or more of the income on housing and so we know that the affordable units that are going to be available on this site for families in the mission are going to be able to keep it a neighborhood for everyone for the 99 percent. >> good evening commissioners my name is peter lauterborn and i am the aid to supervisor mar and the same as the previous speakers i want to articulate his support for the specific project on mission street and as wells a broader push to make sure that the educators and the entire and the employees of the school district have the housing that they need, and that the planning takes place and the funds are set aside and we want to be a helpful hand in that and so thank you, for considering this night. >> good evening, i am here on behalf of supervisor yee and another former colleague of yours, and the one thing that he wanted me to articulate is that we understand,

, our mission is to preserve and enhance the economic diversity in the city and this mission was a call to action in 1978 when they were formed but it really resonates today and so what we are seeing is the loss of the neighborhoods and particularly in the mission in the south east, sector of the city, and really being devastated by this on fettered development and over time that a piece of land is sold to a developer, the balance changes in our city. and there are 100 plus, units under way at 22nd and mission, 160 units now being proposed for 16th and mission, there is a property at 19th and valencia where apartments are selling for $1.6 to $2.3 million dollars that is affordable if you make $275,000 a year, i am not sure that is not what you are serving in the schools. and we applaud the unified school district for sitting down with the mayor's office of housing and community development and getting into the negotiation and considering how this should best benefit both parties. while the community activists and the policy trying to figure out the other ways of addressing the affordabl

the mission bay north is made up of inclusionary unit and other projects. the master developers allowed for the inclusionary housing unit they're required to be broken into 3 tiers very low up to middle income low up to 70 percent and moderate chitchats one hundred and 10 percent. the unit are sold to a third party similar to what we do with nonprofits. overall the o pa between the master developer & a total of 20 percent of the units have been to affordable pardon this the broken down under the o pa. the full build out will have 2 thousand and 64 units. this is the 29 opts. so applying the 20 percent we're required to have 5 hundred and 93 units and the developers are required to build a percentage. we have 6 hundred plus unit more than the ot a required so we're over leveling percent more than the original that was required. we have 20 more than the o pa. this is; however, while the master developer has succeeded those a they've not provided the breakdown as required. they built one hundred opt above that was required so even though we have 20 unit more i

>>george: kron4's jacki cecil is on the scene of mission street. this is the second day in a row where we've had a severed power pole. >>: it could be much worse but you can see the polls still down blocking parts of mission boulevard and that's why 92 traffic and the san mateo bridge problem free and for what one of the golden gate ride no delays in the southbound direction here. the camera appears to have frozen the chicken see the traffic around that long a vehicle is still pretty light. >>mark: of new this morning side-impact crashes. it's easy for a parent to assume their child will be safe when they put him in a car seat; that's what the car seat is for. .but despite government guidelines and safety standards, that might not always be the case. this promotional video highlights one of the major concerns -- a crash from the front isn't the same as a crash from the side. "when you look at a frontal or rear collision with a vehicle, there's a lot of structure there in the front or the rear." "in a side impact, you're literally right at that door

regarding and that is at 1235 mission street. and that has been used for many years, by the city of human services agency. and which continues to have a need for that space. and we will continue to occupy that under a lease that we are finalizing in the negotiations around with the different discussion with the city and county. however, one of the conditions in that negotiation is that we would pay for part of the cost of capitol improvements to upgrade that building and our share of those capitol improvements is $3 and a half million and so most of the 4 and a half million that we will receive from this property exchange will go to the capitol pr

the man at the center of it all, mission director walt kline. why is this mission so important? >> because if we don't do anything about it we're just going to continue on wrecking air. the job of the plain is to conduct the symphony of the science. making sure the scientists are getting what they need, when they want it, how they want it and making sure they get it safely. >> each station, take different readings. the is mission is called seachrs. >> are exposing only the colors of the radar to them. >> on the ground, dozens of scientists monitor the flights in mission control. they can track the flight path through radar. jasmine velapich. >> almost no other plane is capable of reaching high altitudes. we have remote sensors that allow us to look at the chem composition of the atmosphere, the outfloor of convective activity. we're also interested in looking at the effects of hurricanes. >> even higher up in space a fleet of formation satellites pass over where the planes fly. just took off an hour ago, the scientists went right to work. all sorts of instruments that are doing

rocket on a mission to mars. if all goes accordin to plan, the indian spacecraft will travel 485 million miles over more than ten months and go into the orbit around mars in seventh. the u.s., former soviet union and the european space agency are the only ones who have accomplished this feat. >> it is a challenge at best. >> dr. radhakrishnan is the director at the indian space research organization. he was looking on when the mars craft in hindi launched. the probe will be studying the atmosphere of mars and looking for traces of methane which could be a sign of previous life. >> not a lot is known about mars, but there are several issues that are yet to be understood. and understood precisely. >> the mission to mars is a source of immense national pride in india, but it might signal a new asian space race and it's triggered a debate about exploring another planet when so many indians struggle for basic necessities. though it has been in existence for nearly 50 years the very fact that india has a space program

now your moving to mission bay. how and when did you decide to move and graph it's tattoo this neighborhood and how you wanted the space to look and feel and reinvent the physical space >> how many people have been to our chinatown office you know what an upgrade this is. it's lovely to welcome you all here. when we decided to move the office was ready for us to leave the decision was a purely economic decision we wanted to safe neighborhoods and one we could afford so we ended up in chinatown but it was time for us to expand and be in a place that recognize the vision we have. so it was really great when we met alexander and we talked about having better infrastructure and better real estate to the companies we support. it maid make sense to be in mission bay not only for the medical research but the activity from the medication side but also the technology. we've accepted away from sylmar and rock health is in the middle it was a no-brainer. being on the

mission to teach me. why you should care. hello and welcome to worlds apart is there life on mars it used to be a million dollar question than a billion now it looks like it may soon become a trillion dollar question but will it ever produce announcer well to discuss that i'm now joined by a co-founder of the marsh one mission. mr thank you very much for the time i know that you've been a very passionate advocate of sending a manned mission to mars and do you believe that you can do that by circumventing governments and space agencies and you don't even need so much money for that you claim that it may only cost around six billion dollars but i wonder how much of that money have you already raised. we don't disclose the mother's money that we've raised but i can tell you that's we've we've not teresa significant portion of those six billion us dollars but we are talking to the right people we're talking to the right people in the media industry we're talking to the right potential partners and sponsors for our mission and we'

the parcels near the area of 10th and mission. there are some of the parcels in the cities left with that designation we are trying to phase out and the proposal would be to rezone those to c 3g and to cast those as well. the two parcels on jessie street are phasing out that district completely to be consistent with the surrounding. again the western soma, the three parcels again the ordinance was just mistakenly prepared and those high designations are technical clean ups to what we thought we were adopting in the back of april. the maps are the most enlightening changes of the boundaries because it is a n a little bit of a jigsaw. if you have any questions, i'm definitely available for anything you may have. supervisor scott weiner: thank you. mr. tieg, is this adding any parcels into western so many plan that were not in it before? >> it's actually removing one. there is a parcel on 10th street the most northern parcel within western so many a it it was only parcel on c 3g which is in the other two parcels at the same intersect
