The temperature and pressure at which water boils are interrelated. If you access a "steam table" from an engineering thermodynamics textbook, look at a table entitled "properties of saturated water, temperature table," you will find an entry called "saturation pressure." That is the pressure at which water boils at that temperature. If you look at something near your body temperature, say, 38 degrees C, the pressure is about 0.066 bars (or about.066 atmospheres). If you are in the upper atmosphere or in space with no pressurized suit and the pressure is below 0.066 atmospheres, your blood will boil.
This is not a complete answer to this question, however. There are concerns about bubbles of nitrogen ("the bends") due to rapid depressurization, etc. that also need to be addressed.
Why is this being reported now? The ozone depletion is a springtime phenomenon. The high exposure to UV at high latitudes would be experienced during the late spring and summer.
>>You could try taking all the LCD screens and making one big display, sounds like too much work though
Imagine a wall with these screens widely distributed, corresponding to windows of an aircraft, helicopter, etc. Program these window coordinates and interface with a flight simulator to get a cool-looking wide angle visual display. Each laptop can run the slice necessary to drive its display.
Nothing should be crammed down anyone's throat. However, if I see you in great danger and know how to address that danger, wouldn't it be right for me to inform you? The Bibles are placed with that in mind; if you don't want to address the issue of what is said therein, you have the freedom to keep the drawer in the nightstand closed. If the message of the Bible is false, it should be no threat to you. If it is true, then it is good for everyone to have an opportunity to understand that truth and make an informed decision concerning it.
I believe this is impractical since the moon is above the horizon only half the time. If the beam is relayed via a geostationary satellite, the earth will get between it and the moon for a short period each day. Also, the geostationary satellites are not _perfectly_ stationary, hence the beam from the moon has to track it.
Among the environmental effects that can be expected is a regional climate impact for parts of Japan, as described by Doron Nof of Florida State University in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, April 2001, p.609.

Briefly, the climate effect is the result of increased salinity in the sea between China and Japan. Wintertime outbreaks of cold air, which cool the water with human-induced greater density then will induce deep sea convection at that location, greatly increasing heat and moisture input into the atmosphere in that region, resulting in less wintertime cold for downstream areas of Japan.

Who's going to build the coal-powered power plant to supply electricity for the chargers?

Do you suppose that the timimg of the Microsoft proclamation on the death of free software coincides with these subpoenas for a reason?
