Virgin Galactic Completes First Human Spaceflight! Virgin Galactic today completed its third spaceflight and the first ever spaceflight from Spaceport America, New Mexico. Today’s flight sees New Mexico become the third US state to launch humans into space. VSS Unity achieved a speed of Mach 3 after being released from the mothership, VMS Eve, and reached space, at an altitude of 55.45 miles before gliding smoothly to a runway landing at Spaceport America. On VSS Unity’s flight deck were CJ Sturckow and Dave Mackay, while Kelly Latimer and Michael Masucci piloted VMS Eve. CJ, who flew as pilot-in-command, becomes the first person ever to have flown to space from three different states. The crew experienced extraordinary views of the bright, blue-rimmed curvature of the earth against the blackness of space. New Mexico’s White Sands National Park sparkled brilliantly below. Their experience today gives Virgin Galactic’s Future Astronaut customers a glimpse of what lies ahead. Michael Colglazier, Chief Executive Officer of Virgin Galactic, said: “Today’s flight showcased the inherent elegance and safety of our spaceflight system, while marking a major step forward for both Virgin Galactic and human spaceflight in New Mexico. Space travel is a bold and adventurous endeavor, and I am incredibly proud of our talented team for making the dream of private space travel a reality. We will immediately begin processing the data gained from this successful test flight, and we look forward to sharing news on our next planned milestone.” Virgin Galactic fulfilled a number of test objectives during the flight, including: Carried revenue-generating scientific research experiments as part of NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program. Collected data to be used for the final two verification reports that are required as part of the current FAA commercial reusable spacecraft operator’s license. Tested the spaceship’s upgraded horizontal stabilizers and flight controls and validated EMI reductions. Following the flight, and in line with normal procedures, Virgin Galactic will conduct a review of all test data gathered and thoroughly inspect the spaceship and mothership. Once the team confirms the results, the Company plans to proceed to the next flight test milestone.

JEFF BEZOS WILL FLY TO SPACE NEXT MONTH! Jeff Bezos will be flying to space on the first crewed flight of the New Shepard, the rocket ship made by his space company, Blue Origin. The flight is scheduled for July 20th, just 15 days after he is set to resign as CEO of Amazon. Blue Origin said Bezos' younger brother, Mark Bezos, will also join the flight. "Ever since I was five years old, I've dreamed of traveling to space," Bezos, 57, said in a Monday morning Instagram post. "On July 20th, I will take that journey with my brother. The greatest adventure, with my best friend." If all goes according to plan, Bezos — the world's richest person with a net worth of $187 billion — will be the first of the billionaire space tycoons to experience a ride aboard the rocket technology that he's poured millions into developing. Not even Elon Musk, whose SpaceX builds rockets powerful enough to enter orbit around Earth, has announced plans to travel to space aboard one of his companies human-worthy crew capsules. British billionaire Richard Branson, whose own space company, Virgin Galactic, is planning on conducting flights to suborbital space for ultra-wealthy thrill seekers and competing directly with Blue Origin. Branson has long said he would be among the first passengers aboard Virgin Galactic's rocket-powered plane, but that flight is expected to take place later in 2021.

I also love South Palms in Panglao. Getting to the resort is so easy. Parang sumakay ka lang ng ikot jeep, bumaba sa shopping... that kind of easy.

JOHN WONG who? These news outfits do not check their new sources. You can read the article from this link. https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/3135814/coronavirus-duterte-urges-public-get-vaccinated-after Here's an excerpt with the questionable content John Wong, a data analyst on the government’s coronavirus task force, said that in the three months since early inoculations started, just 14 per cent of senior citizens and 8 per cent of people with health conditions had received first doses of a vaccine, short of the 21 per cent target. Wong attributed the slow roll-out to limited vaccine supplies, vaccine hesitancy and accessibility problems. “Some people want the vaccine but cannot access it. We need to address access issues,” Wong said. Wong said only half of the 2.1 million people eligible for a second dose had come back to receive it.

Reverse mortgages have been around since the early 30s. Since then, there have been incremental improvements in the technology that makes them affordable for mainstream homeowners. These loans, however, have generally been offered by investment firms, financial institutions (especially in Asia), and “special purpose acquirers” (SPAs) with strong reputations for quality and transparency. Their underlying experience in the marketplace is that customers are more suited to underwriting risky high-risk loans with MACs than are consumers who need credit for everyday purchases.

Who should not get a reverse mortgage? Reverse mortgages are not for everyone. If you are looking for a loan to supplement your income or to use the equity in your home to purchase something, you should probably look elsewhere. If you are looking for a loan to supplement your income or to use the equity in your home to purchase something, you should probably look elsewhere.Reverse mortgages differ from conventional single-family mortgages (SFL) because they require that the property be revalued (demolished and leveled) before the mortgage proceeds. While some SFLs can offer fixed rates with or without equity protections, or even pay down balance if the property value goes down during the term of the loan, most SFLs do not provide alternatives to equity protection, such as options for periodic improvements or maintenance needed to keep the property current or a down payment for a home the owner is interested in purchasing. Reverse mortgages have had limited use over the years and are much more popular now because they allow homeowners, who may have equity, to access funds without taking on substantial risk. Depending on the terms of the reverse mortgage, their initial outlay of money is significantly less than other types of mortgages. With a reverse mortgage, the homeowners are required to maintain and even pay off the loan, to the value of the property. (Mortgage servicers — loan servicers — serve as the Your Money Advisors of the reverse mortgage world. They help lenders determine whether the property is worth paying back and, if it is, what form of payment the homeowners will be required to make to keep it current.)

A typical purchase of a reverse mortgage is the first payment that is due on the mortgage. The first payment usually involves the seller acquiring the funds and writing a check. In return, the buyer is responsible for paying the balance of the balance due on or before the due date before the end of the 31st calendar month after the mortgage is taken out. For the actual purchase price of the home, the balance due is calculated as the difference between the cost of the property and the residual value (value of the home after all costs are deducted) of the property. This amount is usually based on the sales price of the property as well as the interest rate charged by the mortgage servicer. The buyer pays approximately four percent to HARP for the loan. Prior to the pandemic, the reverse mortgage market was thriving. Unfortunately, as more people became aware of these mortgages, the supply of available loans has been constrained.

Who can benefit from a reverse mortgage? Many reverse mortgages are for people who are in a financial pinch but still want to stay in their own homes. For example, if you are a senior who needs money to repair your home or pay a medical bill and your house is the most valuable asset you have, a reverse mortgage may be an option for you. Remember, a reverse mortgage is not a loan.Reverse mortgages come in various forms, including fixed unit, equity compact, and inflation-adjusted payments. Fixed unit mortgages provide funding for specific capital improvements such as foundation, roof, deck, or sewage connection. Fixed unit mortgages usually require a down payment of several months of the salary. Equity compact mortgages provide funding for purchasing a primary residence that is not your main residence. An example would be a family buying a home for the family vacation or to avoid property taxes. Finally, there is an inflation-adjusted reverse mortgage, which is more common now as accessible for individuals with equity. Equity-adjusted reverse mortgage allows consumers to take an existing home and provide additional equity for those times when they are unable to acquire income-producing properties.

For someone who wants to buy a home but does not want to receive a high interest rate, a fixed rate option geared towards term loans is a more suitable home loan option for them. Fixed-rate reverse mortgages can provide the same amount of debt as interest-only loans, but some fixed-rate Reverse mortgage loans provide several types of equity, including cash, through a deferred sale value and/or a compulsory retirement fund. Being a fixed-rate loan does not give a borrower access to greater flexibility while making a home purchase, but it does give them the option to buy the home they want without worrying about its market value. If you are married or together with your spouse, a joint or spousal reverse mortgage is a good option for you. You do not have to start paying off your loans until you sell your home.

A reverse mortgage is a home loan that gives homeowners the opportunity to receive a lump sum of cash in exchange for the equity in their home. The borrower does not have to make any monthly payments, and the loan does not have to be repaid until the borrower moves out or sells the home.While an interest-only loan can provide a downpayment for personal or family use, it is generally not a suitable option for someone wanting to purchase a home. Interest-only loans generally have fixed rates, the rate the lender increases when the loan is used to borrow more money. Variations in the interest rate charged by the lender can have a significant impact on the borrower’s ability to afford the home loan. Up-front payments to buy a house can be attractive to a consumer who has many years ahead of them. The monthly payment while you are in the home can be balanced by the increased income potential when you exit the home and move to where you will finish paying off the loan.

A reverse mortgage essentially involves lending money from a bank to you at a higher rate than you would receive from another person. For each $100,000 of equity that you have, your loan amount can be increased by $5,000. Lender — usually a bank — agrees to make payments to the borrower for a fixed period of time as long as the balance is maintained. The length of contract can vary between 30 and 54 months. Because a reverse mortgage is not a traditional mortgage, there are key points to consider before you decide to use one. The following factors should help determine whether you should pursue a reverse mortgage loan. Reverse mortgage loans typically have a lower amortization period and higher payment limits than monthly mortgage payments. However, when monthly payments start to climb, periodic payments called grace periods, which allow homeowners to pay the remaining balance before interest kicks in.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage, your home must have an equity of at least five years of homeownership. Holding a loan with a closing balance of at least five years of homeownership is a requirement for someone to qualify for a reverse mortgage loan. The balance can vary over time, even between loans granted on the same property. In some cases, you might need to sell the property before the equity can be increased, or the balance can increase because you purchased the home at a high-sale price. Your home must also be your principal residence and not an investment property used for rental purposes. You cannot have a history of liens on your home or multiple properties that you are thinking about selling or moving to.
