I am fully down to learn.

I wasn't aware the gravity on the moon wasn't mostly uniform. I've not heard that before. Any particular reason image processing couldn't be used to keep the down side down? Or when the previous lander crashed thinking it was many KM higher but it didn't have backups for each sensor type? I've been following along and many of these seem to be preventable issues when it comes to the price of a launch.

For that matter, light delay to manually change system parameters seems to be reasonable.
