'Go around, Gear UP, Flaps 20.'

Yeah, I seem to remember reading they had some kind of big, red button that would cause the LEM to blast off back into orbit before the landing engine flamed out and the whole shebang went ballistic. That must have focused the mind wonderfully.

Without the man in the loop they would have crashed on landing. Interesting, that.
