I understand atmospheric pressure on earth.
I was wondering about the pressure inside current space craft?
I was also wondering about the mixture of breathing gasses inside the spacecraft and during spacewalks.

Building a pressure vessel that will hold 1 ATA is not difficult.
We currently have human occupied pressure vessels here on earth that can handle 50x that.
