OK, here's the theory: The universe is not only expanding, everything in it is expanding too. Ergo, the space station is expanding which causes the air pressure to drop. Either that or President Bush is stealing the air to kill these guys and cause pain for their families/children.

"Either that or President Bush is stealing the air to kill these guys and cause pain for their families/children." That sounds like the most reasonable answer.

I just pulled the names off the long, long orbiter thread. Curious what you folks think. Thanks for posting Blam.

MEMO to MSNBC: If it's leaking then IT AIN'T AIRTIGHT! Numbnut reporters.

You mean AP?

They were talking about the prime suspect, an air purifier. It turned out to be ok.
To: Sabatier
Duct tape. But where to put the tape?
Hmmm, maybe these people can help out.
To: blam
I would ask commiecrat senator Patrick Leahy where the leak is.

Micro-meteorite? Didn't they hear a bang a few weeks back that's still unexplained?

There are plenty of places on Earth where people live with much lower air pressure... IIRC, the Apollo era pressure was 5 psi. Probably had to boost it in order to provide an environment that a relatively
non-select portion of the population could get in to space [aboard US craft].
Bloating in females, comes to mind. (Maybe I should say brain swelling comes to mind, first?)
I think it was a "safety" design. That pressure could be maintained long enough for the donning of pressure suits if the capsule acquired 0.5" hole.

Something strikes me as wrong about the Las Vegas air pressure.
Trying to find a list of air pressures by altitude. BRB

Just spray the outside with soapy water and look for the bubbles.

Don't know the elevation. If it's 12psi at Denver and Mexico City, that sounds about right.
To: Lokibob
Generally around 2000' ASL. Sounds about right.
To: leadpenny
I got that, LV altitude is 2124'. Just can't find the standard pressure for that altitude.
