Well we had experience doing this before, doesn't make it any less dangerous though.
After several 'false' readings from the computer we did manage to land a 3rd mission
on the moon.

First problem came up with the docking of the lunar module to the command module.
Spending almost 2 hours (1h42m) the problem was over come and posed no problem
for the rest of the mission.
More problems (source) The Lunar Module had a few problems; hardware and software needed
to be repaired in order to make a successful landing on the Moon.

With an 'abort' signal caused by a faulty switch; Mitchell had to do some quick computer reprogramming to make the computer ignore that command. 80 key strokes later and not a lot of time left he did manage to fix this problem. During the power decent it was determined the patch in the software caused a failure in the landing instruments and Mitchell was forced to manually land the LM on the moon.
