The Flight of Apollo 10: For Adult Audiences Only

 Neither Tom or I can be sure,” Cernan related, “but when it came time to stage…there was some switch that had to be changed, and I changed it. And I’d be willing to bet that…I put the switch in the new position and Tom went ahead and moved it back to the old one. His action was to move the switch. I’d already done it for him. But he didn’t know that and, when he moved the switch, he just moved it back to where it was. In effect, we created the problem!”

Well , LEM had a switch auto / manual landing  . What if Apollo 11 left it intentionally in position AUTO? . Should astronauts in that case be needed at all ?  No. All of its crew could simply stay in command Apollo module.
Mission motto was pretty indicative:   "The Dress Rehearsal... "

Huston we have a problem ! Use Scotch tape for fix, please ! Beside, you two could simply lift your rover on Moon by bare hands, provided you are not on Earth. Don't forget Moon's lower gravity advantages !

 99% BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Apollo 11 landed on dusty Moon soil and NASA previously never checked will its 15 tonnes on 4 pads simply sink into the soil. OK, that is only 2,5 tonnes on moon, but then how they tested LM on Earth with consequently so less ascend trust needed? Not to mention the very moment when ascend stage is launched. Well, that is call LUCK. Or cover landing was really necessary. What if turtles landed on Moon first? RED TURTLES !
