    Thank you . I look forward to working with you and to once again send Americans to explore the heavens.

    Proud to announce that Sen. Bill Nelson, an astronaut, will be joining us next week as one of the newest members of the Advisory Committee. He is a true champion for human spaceflight and will add tremendous value as we go to the Moon and on to Mars.

    The Senate just passed my bill to help commercial space companies launch more than one rocket a day from Florida! This is an exciting bill that will help create jobs and keep rockets roaring from the Cape. It also extends the International Space Station to 2030!

    He and his wife Ginger have certainly made their mark in Florida politics and as a university president. T.K. fought cancer with the same determination that he completed winning touchdown catches for FSU.

    T.K. was one of my best friends. Since his days in the Florida House, he is recognized as one of the best Speakers of the House and a very effective university president who had to make difficult decisions moving Florida State forward.

    It has been the great honor of my life to serve our country and the people of Florida. It’s hard to say goodbye to the work and people that I love, but I intend to keep fighting for all that we’ve worked so hard for on behalf of my fellow Floridians and all Americans.

    Our space program has a spectacular and exciting future. It's a future full of opportunity, and it is a future that will require everyone -- industry, Congress, and the agency, as well as our international partners – to come together to make it a reality.

    George H.W. Bush modeled the best of public service. He was a servant leader. And that’s why the nation unanimously mourns for him.

    For the good of our planet, our children, and future generations— we must take climate change seriously, listen to the experts, and come together to work on solutions. We have to act, and have to act now.

    We’ve got to keep up the fight to improve access to health care and protect Floridians with pre-existing conditions like J.J. and Elizabeth. The Trump administration should be working with us to improve the existing health care law, not dismantle it.

    There are great decisions ahead that will shape the course and character of America in the 21st century. And whether an institution such as this Congress will be effective in the future is dependent on whether the people that make up this institution can get along.

    The Senate today passed a bill I co-authored to make sure the Coast Guard has the resources it needs to carry out its many important missions, including responding to disasters and preventing illegal drugs from entering the U.S.
