"Sea level pressure is 760 mmHg (14.7 psi). A typical passenger jet at altitude has a cabin pressure of about 565 mmHg (10.9 psi).
The atmosphere of the ISS is maintained to approximately 760 mmHg (14.7 psi), with 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. The remaining 1% is composed of metabolic products such as carbon dioxide. Humidity is kept between 40-70%."

Exactly to my point. Space faring vessels probably run at 1 atm. Not at 12,000 or 30,000 feet above sea level.

Interesting, I thought it was maintained at 12 to 14 thousand feet.
