The US didn't make it to the moon overnight or mars in a week. It took years of careful planning and failing and redoing. The oil companies promised everything was under control and covered any lingering doubts with political contributions (that's what we call bribes here). The leak is so deep it may as well be in outer space. The US will come up with a top notch oil well patching under thousands of feet of water solution, but it will take time. They just need to start on this solution a decade ago.
