Space and the U.S. Space Program was not a topic during last night's Florida Senate debate.  Nelson made one statement regarding Mack voting against a NASA bill.  However, Nelson's statement was made when the question and allotted debate time was for the topic of continuing the Embargo against Cuba.  Mack responded to the Embargo question without being pulled off-topic by Nelson on space.  Both candidates supported continuing the Embargo.
