Today, scientist look back at the moon landings and are still in shock

which they got lucky many times on the Apollo missions. During
practice with the LM teethered the pilots often would lose control. In
addition, the assent rocket on the LM only worked 6 out of 10 times.

What four times did it fail?

During engine testing.

Before or after the engine was completed? I doubt any engine actually mounted
to a LM failed. And for sure and for certain, none failed in flight.
