Consider Mars at Griffith this Friday Griffith Observatory on Oct. 28 will premiere “All Mars Considered,” a panel discussion program and book signing based on the book and new National Geographic Channel series, “MARS: Our Future on the Red Planet” starting at 7:30 p.m. Leonard David, Rob Manning, and Andre Bormanis will join Griffith Observatory Curator, Dr. Laura Danly, who will host the evening. “MARS: Our Future on the Red Planet” considers the imminent settlement of humans on Mars. Author Leonard David has covered space for 50 years and co-authored “Mission to Mars” with Buzz Aldrin. He frequently contributes to the website Space.com as their “Space Insider Columnist.” In 2015, he became the first recipient of the American Astronautical Society’s (AAS) “Ordway Award for Sustained Excellence in Spaceflight History” in the category of journalism, and in 2010 he received the National Space Club Press Award. His latest book is part of a major National Geographic MARS initiative this fall, including a documentary series in partnership with Ron Howard, whose foreword opens the book. Rob Manning is NASA Jet Propulsion Lab’s Engineering and Science Directorate Chief Engineer and has taken us — or more accurately, our robot proxies — to Mars again and again over the past decade. Author and television writer and producer Andre Bormanis is co-executive producer of the unique television documentary-drama series, “MARS,” set to air in November on the National Geographic Channel. Previous credits include the Star Trek television series “Star Trek: The Next Generation and Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.” The event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come, first- served, up to the capacity of the theater. Griffith Observatory’s Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon theater is located at 2800 East Observatory Road, in Los Angeles.

embRACEFrom page 1 LA survey online in poverty. And though the city’s culture and diversity make Los Angeles what it is now, those differences have also long separated communities and led to systemic and evident inequalities. While frustrations escalate and become more exposed around the country, city leaders in Los Angeles are looking for new ways to address them head-on in an attempt to promote healthy conversation, and eventually enact policy to help eliminate institutionalized inequalities. On Oct. 20, city leaders launched a new initiative, “embRACE LA,” to spark an open dialogue among citizens and the government. “As city leaders, it is our responsibility to engage in these conversations, to lean into the issue, not run away from it,” said Councilman Mitch O’Farrell, 13th District, who co-authored the motion that led to embRACE LA. “Dialogue among the city’s residents and its institutions is the funda- mental mechanism that we will use to become a better and more inclusive city.” The first step of embRACE LA is for Angelenos to weigh in on issues of race, ethnicity and diversity through an online survey. Right now, every Angeleno can participate online. Questions include basic information about the participant – age, community, education, income and more – and the survey is completely anonymous. It transitions to questions about racial inequality, such as if the participant has ever experienced differential treatment in accessing resources due to their race or ethnicity. “How often do you think about race or racism?” the survey asks. photo by Edwin Folven O’Farrell said that over the past year-and-a-half that the heavily docu- Congressman Adam Schiff held a town hall meeting on gun violence in August to hear ideas about the issue mented police shootings of unarmed citizens – as well as the country’s reac- from constituents and to outline his viewpoints about the problem. tion to them – have brought him and the nation to a “critical point” of frustration. “The Affordable Healthcare Act “I thought the disturbing direction that the whole topic took wasn’t help- has been very successful in extend- ful,” he said. “Protests and anarchists occupied space that did not allow oth- ing healthcare to 20 million people ers a structured and constructive way to let their voices be heard.
