Yep. It was a "slight" navigation error. Very embarrassing. But you have to remember, computers weren't as reliable back then as they are now. So even though our 1969 space crew overshot the moon and landed on Mars instead, you really shouldn't take anything away from their mission. Overall, it was a success.
