The Intuitive Machines lander issue was that no one disarmed the safety switch on the laser guidance system. (No, really!) Luckily NASA had a backup system installed that ended up working better anyway.

Not sure if it ended up working better, as it landed with nonzero horizontal velocity. Though I suppose we’ll never know how well the original system would have performed…
