1. Michael Elleman:

   This missile is far more capable than its predecessor, this missile, because it is so much larger and has twice the thrust capability, it is easy to conclude that it can carry a payload of 750 kg [1,653 pounds] to 1000 kg [2,200 pounds], or even more.

2. Tim Clark:

   It (787-10) doesn't have the capability of lifting the payload to distances that we would want beyond about eight hours.

3. Claudio Semini:

   If we have a moving mass in front, that creates also a disturbance in the legs. So what we're developing is algorithms that can take into account that external disturbance from the payload or from the arm. And then servo the legs, control the legs in a way to compensate for these disturbances. And we've managed to do this very well; there's an example where we moved the arm left and right relatively fast, and if we don't use the smart controller the robot moves a lot. But if we turn on the smart controller, the torque and forces in the cylinders and joints are optimized so that the robot is relatively firm and rejects all these external disturbances.

4. Defense Secretary Ash Carter:

   I saw some of the A-10s that are flying bombing missions against ISIL (the Pentagon's term for ISIS) when I was at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey last December, and we need the additional payload capacity they can bring to the fight, we're pushing off the A-10's final retirement until 2022 so we can keep more aircraft that can drop smart bombs on ISIL.

5. Jim Bridenstine:

   We’re getting ready to launch what will be the largest rocket ever launched in the history of humanity, it’s going to have a bigger payload capacity and a bigger faring to carry larger objects than we’ve ever been able to put into orbit. This particular rocket, the Space Launch System is going to take us to the moon, and it’s going to take us on to Mars.
