A pure oxygen atmosphere is an invitation to have a deadly fire or explosion. Only if you're running it at 17+ psia. At the pressures Apollo ran at once in orbit, it was a lot less of an issue. That said, I don't think anyone was suggesting running pure O2 at high pressures. But running at lower pressures does make emergency EVAs easier. Ed -- Greg D.
