A SpaceX Rocket Is About to Crash Into the Moon, $900 Per Kid on Back-to-School Shopping, and Should You Lease Your iPhone?
 
A 9,000-pound SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage is on a collision course with the Moon — impact expected around 12:35 AM MDT Wednesday morning — and Utah astronomer Patrick Wiggins joins us live to break down whether you'll actually be able to see it from here. Plus, parents are expected to spend an average of $900 per child on back-to-school shopping this year…why?
 
Apple just launched its new "Apple Upgrade" leasing program with Klarna — iPhones starting at $17.99 a month — and Ethan weighs in on whether this is a budget-friendly game-changer or a never ending payment game.
