Elian;
 Lowering the pressure 'raises' the boiling point of water not lower 
it.........ever try to cook a pot of rice at 9,000 feet? :-) While I am sure 
that the lack of any discernible atmospheric pressure would have deletrious 
effects on the thingee I don't know what those effects would be, but your 
scenario is as reasonable as anything I could come up with.
 As for the "pianists in space" I have at least two that I would like to send 
along with your choices :-)
