But also, you die aplenty in a FPS game.

For all the people talking about 5 hour PR review delays... This reminds me of some teams that rotate the "fire extinguisher/emergency bug fixer" duty every day/week/sprint to a different developer. One could rotate a dedicated "first review duty" person. That developer would be in charge of focusing on rapidly starting PR reviews as their priority, with option to request other reviewers if necessary. Spreading the duty around would make people be respectful of the reviewer because if they send unreviewed slop to the reviewers, it's likely that people will send them slop too.

It's not impossible that the Pentagon could have thought "alright, we want these readings. is there a civilian use for this kind of data and decided to see if a civilian project could be sprung up... Though that's more of a Cold War conceit. These days they would just do it themselves, it's probably an easy and cheap project.
