[FPSPACE] Death in space

[Fetter, Les S]

I don't think those experiments really address what we were originally
discussing though.  Except for the test at 20 km altitude pressure, the
subjects most likely died from lack of oxygen, not from lack of pressure.
We were discussing being able to survive a hard vacuum for a very short
time.

I won't even go into "man's inhumanity to man" (and animals).
