I seriously doubt sea level pressure is maintained in space vehicles.
Airliners maintain 8,000 ft pressure altitude when at cruise, space capsules are not pressurized to that level, a quick search should find the normal pressures in the space station.
While poorly worded, the author is correct.
The author is correct because you have doubts? Well the ISS runs at 1 ATM, or should they consult you for wasting air pressure.
