...Force duty how altitude affects the human body. Without oxygen a man blacks out above 20,000 ft., suffers from expanding intestinal gas around 25,000, feels intolerable heart strain even with a high-pressure oxygen mask at 50,000, dies instantly from boiling blood (bubbling off gas like soda water) at 63,000 ft. if not pressurized inside a space suit...
