Deepsea Challenger: Timeline of tests and missions

When following a complex and interesting event, I assemble a timeline. Reporters often use timelines to track incoming facts and come up with new questions.  

For those who like a matrix, here's a draft list of dates and locations that I sifted from the Deepsea Challenge website and independent reports, such as pieces filed by news outlets in Guam and Australia.

If there are errors or omissions, let me know!
