I am so sick of his astronaut story. In Florida, they play that commercial all the time. I don’t know when he was an astronaut, but that seems to be his only accomplishment. He never states what he’s done in the senate. Please let Governor Scott win. Got our absentee ballots today. So coincidental. I go to vote in person but always get the ballot to read through before We go. I am glad Florida allows that. The amendments are ridiculous this time. 13. Lol. That will increase everybody’s time voting. Like millenials will stand in line even longer then normal...sure. Ha!

He was a sitting Congresscritter at the time he went into space as a "Payload Specialist". They make it sound like he was one of the original Mercury 7, or one of the many PhD astronauts that would follow.
