NASA expects to launch a space probe Saturday that will explore the atmosphere around the sun. We learn more from NPR’s Nell Greenfieldboyce and Geoff Brumfiel, and discuss the Trump administration’s announcement that it will create a military “Space Force.” Also, Michael Moore releases his documentary “Fahrenheit 11/9” on Sept. 21. The film is a continuation of Moore’s anti-Trump crusade, which was also at the center of his one-man show which ran on Broadway last year. And November’s midterm elections are fast approaching — but some voters may find they’re no longer registered to vote, even if they’re eligible. The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School has released research showing an uptick in voter roll purges, including some removals that it says are illegal. That and more, in hour two of Here & Now’s Aug. 10, 2018 full broadcast.
