it happened again with the Intuitive Machines lander that landed on the moon last week

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...
