1. Larry Connor:

   The launch was great, but the re-entry was even better. You're coming down hill and you're free falling and you can tell how fast you're going, but it's very controlled, there's some G-loading. You get a sense of rotation. It's really exhilarating.

2. Justin Onuekwusi:

   We're seeing yields backing up and safe havens and defensive equities underperform so we are seeing a bit rotation. I don't think it's a structural shift, it's just that markets went too far and too soon, and we are seeing alleviation of that move, the market is being driven by two extremes: one if we get further deceleration in trade, the probability of recession becomes quite high.

5. Guy Houlsby:

   The original Darrieus turbine has blades that are parallel to the axis of rotation, and that means that the loads in the blades are carried entirely by bending of the blades. That results in very high stresses, the re-design that we've done changes the blades so that they form this triangulated structure, and that's a very stiff and very strong structural form. And that means that the loads in the blades are principally carried by axial forces and that means that the stresses are much lower.
