The official NASA story is that there was a checklist problem that kept the rendezvous radar on during descent, but in the movie "In the Shadow of the Moon" Buzz clearly states that since he was "Dr. Rendezvous", he kept it on in case of an abort.

How did buzz get back from the moon?

After they re-entered the LM, the hatch was closed and sealed. While preparing for the liftoff from the lunar surface, Armstrong and Aldrin discovered that in their bulky spacesuits, they had broken the ignition switch for the ascent engine. The ascent engine had no switch to fire. Using part of a pen, they pushed the circuit breaker in to activate the launch sequence. Aldrin still possesses the pen which they used to do this. (Aldrin has it kept in a glass case for all to see). The lunar module then continued to its rendezvous and docked with Columbia, the command and service module, and returned to Earth. The command module splashed down in the Pacific ocean and the Apollo 11 crew was picked up by the USS Hornet (CV-12).

What is the order of making the statues fall at Giza on Nabooti Island?

The statues all have dots on their bellies : 1, 2, 3, or 4 dots. The switches have to be pulled in order, from one dot to four, before the sand covers them. This means that you start with the switch at the right (fourth switch), the next in the middle (second switch), then the other middle one (third switch), and finally the left one (first switch).

What Apollo mission had computer malfunctions?

The Apollo 12 mission, which was the sixth crewed mission in NASA's Apollo program and took place in November 1969, experienced a notable computer malfunction. During the launch, the spacecraft was struck by lightning twice, which caused a temporary loss of telemetry data and triggered a "SCE to AUX" (Signal Conditioning Equipment to Auxiliary) alarm. This alarmed the flight controllers and the crew. Fortunately, the quick thinking of astronaut Alan Bean, who flipped a switch to put the Signal Conditioning Equipment in auxiliary mode as per the guidance from flight controller John Aaron, helped restore telemetry data. This allowed the mission to continue, and Apollo 12 successfully landed on the Moon, demonstrating the importance of teamwork and astronaut training in handling unexpected situations.
