Astronaut is a passenger. It is similar to a passanger from delhi to newyork will be told, you have transit either at paris or london etc.
- It is the pilot who is in control,
- and the pilot is dictated by navigation and guidance,
- Navigation and guidance is done by the computer,
- the computer is built and programmed by experts.
For space mission, it is the ground control mission manager who is in control of lunar mission, all events are dictated by him or he hands it over to the autonomous onboard computer.
I don't think the astronaut has access to anything other than "ABORT" button. That too when he is near earth.
