Craters on the Moon? Who Knew?

At least it was not a hardware problem.

Japanese moon spaceship software confused by crater

Quote:

Apparently, while trying to land, the spaceship went into free-fall from five kilometres up and created a new crater on the moon. It was all down to a last-minute decision to the touchdown location to a crater. The crater's steep sides confused the onboard software because it did not really expect them to be there.

Needs a human in the loop?
