[00:00:20]Big hole was in fact a large crater.

[00:00:23]Which the lunar module was hitting directly into during landing until Young took manual control and overflowed. Here is an overhead photo captured by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Which shows the lunar module right on the edge [music] of crater rim. Luckily for the crew, the crater did not present too much of problem. [music] And they were able to extract the lunar rover and proceed with a very successful mission. The crew of Apollo [music] 15 also had a close call. With one leg of their lunar module Falcon [music] coming to rest in crater. But this was far smaller and shallow. More than a large crater on Apollo 16. Although it did result in the Apollo [music] 15 lunar module having a tilt of approximately 11°.
