The Space Station is at 14.7 PSI (sea level). It will boil at 373.15 Kelvin just like in Miami or Hawaii.

Submission + - Researchers show-off high-speed laser communications device for space (networkworld.com)

coondoggie writes: Using lasers to communicate quickly through the long distances of space has generally been the purview of science fiction. But researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) are out to change that notion with a prototype array that can read more information — and allow much higher data rates than conventional systems — than usual from single particles of light. Lasers can transmit only very low light levels across vast distances, so signals need to contain as much information as possible, NASA said.
