This is not a comment at the poster but a comment at other stuff I've heard generally.
In 1969 man put a rocket on the moon with not much more that clockwork, wooden beads, slide rules and christmas lights.

At first: the precalculations for the trajectory were mostly done on an IBM 360/75 or an IBM 70xx on earth.
On the space-vehicle it self 3 computers were used. One in the lander, one in the command-module and a third one in the Saturn V it self.

The mission rules don't allow it?
Change the mission rules.

Every one of the computers had it own programs, specifically for the misssions and the program was literaly hard wired in core rope memory (today it would called a ROM).
All of these computers were able to be overruled by commands from earth, these commands usually came from an UNIVAC 494, but to change a mission subjective the uplink connection was too slow and the AGC doesn't had enough memory.
So no mission change possible on the fly, just some minor corrections.
(This and some other major factors were the reason why Apollo13 couldn't use the handbreake and turn around)

But you could override some "errors": this had to be done at the Apollo11 mission (Error 1201 and 1202).
These errors were just some minor stuff and not critical for the mission it self, the response to solve the errors was a soft reset.

So no, you can't simply "Change the mission rules."

Yep even a SpaceShuttle couldn't change the mission rules, but at least it could skip some.
