If this tech interests you keep an eye out for June/July when they expect to deploy the sail.
Rocket Lab’s Electron blasted off at 6:32 p.m. ET on April 23, successfully delivering both payloads to low Earth orbit. - Gizmodo
.
After a busy initial flight phase, which will last about two months and includes subsystems checkout, the microwave oven-sized CubeSat will deploy its reflective solar sail. The weeks-long test consists of a series of pointing maneuvers to demonstrate orbit raising and lowering, using only the pressure of sunlight acting on the sail. - NASA

So we make about $100,000 combined, I make just shy of 70K and she makes about 30K.
Both states have programs for first time homebuyers, but our incomes together prohibit us from qualifying, whereas separately we both qualify.
Would it be considered fraud if I were to apply for one as myself, get the house in my name, but we both pay on it? I can't find anything on either page about it, but obviously we are not legally married.
