Why? Because it's the first of its kind, ever. Took 88 days to design
and build.

Why was every procedured they did reported with the caveat, This has
never been done before. * Why not? *

There's a first time for everything.

Why haden't they tested all the procedures and devices when they first
started underwater drilling, again when ty started deep water
drilling, and again every time a new procedure or device was
developed?

How would you propose they test it under realistic conditions? Hmm,
let's drill an oil well and let it blow out, then see if we can plug
it? Seems like they're doing a bang-up job of testing it right now.
