In this case I doubt it would be as simple as a mistake. That poor little spaceship is really old and baked by solar and cosmic radiation. There would just be no way to perfectly simulate the impact of your commands on the ground. Coupled with unstable power from a dying nuclear battery. I would not want to be the programmer responsible for that one. The fact that it works at all is amazing.
