Senator Ted Cruz was back in Texas on Thursday, touring the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
During the tour, Cruz was accompanied by presidential advisor Ivanka Trump and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. Cruz and Trump toured facilities at the Space Center and spoke to crew members aboard the International Space Station.
Cruz’s tour comes as the Senator is preparing to meet Beto O’Rourke for his U.S. Senate debate on Friday. That debate will be held in Dallas.
