Well, maybe something else? Maybe Skyfall? Certainly something not good.

Update, August 29, 2:30am ET : Dapra sent two responses yesterday to our follow-up emails, though they don’t really answer the meat of our questions.
First response:
As before, please note that I cannot go on the record as a contractor. This is a request for information to identify existing spaces. Per the announcement on the Federal Business Opportunities website, the RFI is intended solely for information and planning purposes, and does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals. If the agency releases a formal solicitation, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities website.
Second response:
As noted before, I cannot go on the record, but I wanted to provide an additional bit of background to the RFI. As teams prepare for the SubT Challenge Urban Circuit, the program recognizes it can be difficult for them to find locations suitable to test their systems and sensors. DARPA issued this RFI in part to help identify potential representative environments where teams may be able to test in advance of the upcoming event.
You can learn a lot form scouring Government RFIs and RFPs.
Maybe too much.

The choice of the Buffalo Springfield 60s protest song in the background is very jarring, too.
Here’s a piece I just read on Jack Ryan and his creator, Tom Clancy.

i read most of the clancy books. for me they were entertaining in a “how much more preposterous will he make it this time” kind of way. it was kind of like watching the bond movies, you couldn’t take it seriously but as unintentional absurdity it could be fun.
the messages of his books were repulsive at times and yet that also got more and more preposterous over time.
the above looks much worse than the actual material it came from.

“Self - fulfilling prophecy refers to the socio-psychological phenomenon of someone “predicting” or expecting something, and this “prediction” or expectation comes true simply because one believes it will, and their resulting behaviors align to fulfil those beliefs. This suggests peoples’ beliefs influence their actions.”
Pass the snakes!
