Do you have a particular gripe in mind, or is this just another pot shot at the large aerospace firms?

Subject: Re: atmospheric pressure on Mars I'm not sure about the actual values for the atmospheric pressure (the consensus seems to be about 7mbar), but even if it did take minutes for your body to BANG, you would get the bends real quick (and that's not the car, mind you). And before the bends killed you, you'd probably die of nitrogen poisoning your brain. Also, your blood vessels would balloon, your eyeballs would explode (the fluid in there is under pressure in a sense), the airsacks in your lungs would explode. Basically, if you're out there for more than a few seconds, you're toast even before you explode (bring your butter). If you compare it to being deep in the ocean and coming up real quick, it's probably not as nasty. The change in pressure from 1000 feet under water to sea level is much greater than the pressure change from sea level to 7mbar. This concept may assist those of you really concerned about one day being found on Mars without any gear.
