DARPA suddenly needs underground tunnels for research...like right now

There is a bunch of info on the darpa.mil site about the Subterranean Challenge. a reply to: Archivalist

The needed extra space for 9/9/19


www.space.com...

A potentially hazardous asteroid that had a small chance of smashing into Earth this September isn't heading for our planet after all. Astronomers ruled out the asteroid's chance of impact with Earth after they were not able to spot it within the area of its predicted collision course, making it the first time an asteroid impact was ruled out based on "non-detection."

The asteroid, named 2006 QV89, was discovered on Aug. 29, 2006 by the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Arizona. It measures between 70 to 160 feet (20 to 50 meters) in diameter, or somewhere between the length of a bowling alley and the width of a football field. Observations suggested that it had a one-in-7,000 chance of impacting Earth on Sept. 9, 2019.

I'm guessing it's underground drone swarm testing for things like mapping hostile facilities and such. Hundreds of tiny drones, more than can be defeated, flying around compiling a highly detailed layout of the entire space.

I have to say; that doesn't really give me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside! You?

I hope they don't try to make a habit of that.
