Not the same as prematurely landing on the moon, but John Young smuggled a corned beef sandwich aboard Gemini 3 [1]. He then proceeded to fly on another Gemini mission, 2 Apollo missions and 2 shuttle missions.

That would be Apollo 7 which had a near mutiny in space. None of the astronauts on that flight ever flew again. In their defense, they were dealing with motion sickness and a head cold.

So far as I can tell, none of the Apollo 11 ever flew another mission, so it may well have been worth it.

(Though the 10 astronauts all did at least one more, with two of the three eventually getting their turn on the moon)

> the 10 astronauts

To other readers: OP is talking about the astronauts of Apollo X, not a quantity of ten astronauts.

A small price to pay to be the first man on the moon.

You just landed on the moon, it's either a mission to Mars next or you just don't care anymore

Any real punishment after successful return would have been politically impossible.

JFK would have called: "Give them written warning and yell at them, Then you bring them to DC. I have to shake their hand and we have to plan for celebration and other stuff."

That's why you turn off the radio, land, take off again, and say something about technical difficulties.
