typosaurus1218739dI did not know, thank you. Was it a heat censor having issues in the desert it all was recorded?

Wisecrack948134dBut would they have actually aborted?
Imagine being those astronauts, all that training, so close to something they trained years for, knowing they would likely never get a second chance.
I think they might have ignored the errors and warnings, and gone for it anyway. -
@Wisecrack nah, if NASA told them to abort, they would have. Several missions were aborted early due to issues when they were close to being on the moon. When human life is on the line, they play it really safe.

Did you know the moon mission would have been a complete bust if one guy, the day before, hadn't looked at the error codes. The same error codes that were continually popping up on the console during the dissent onto the moon. If it weren't for him they would not have known what those error codes were for and would have aborted the mission.
