If you want white knuckle tension, try listening to the final 13 minutes of the Apollo moon landing as Neil Armstrong, running out of fuel, with the computer overshooting the planned landing site and taking the lunar module into a boulder field which would have destroyed the craft and the crew, has to take manual control from the computer and find a good spot to put it down... which he does with about 15 seconds of fuel remaining. Throughout the whole thing he and Buzz Aldrin don't even break a sweat... they sound like they are out for a stroll.
