-they almost had to abort the landing due to fuel. they landed 25 seconds above their abort fuel

- they almost got stuck on the moon. When re entering the lunar module they damaged the circuit breaker that armed the accent rocket. When troubleshooting they figured out the tip of their pen fit in the slot where the breaker was and were able to arm the rocket that way.
