The hell? If all you inhaled was pure oxygen, you would die! The air you breathe isn't pure oxygen, it's a combination of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, ozone, and other gases.
As long as it's not payed for with the tax payer's dollars.

The Olympics are funded by tax payers, as are the things leading up to it. Why would this be any different. Assuming the thing to hold the flame was built and ready to go it would be relativity cheap to launch it into space for the Russians. It would probably just be stuck on a cargo transporting vessel that was going to the ISS anyway.
Space Olympics, man would that be sweet.
This is the first thing that popped into my head:

Fucking brilliant!
I hope they don't make a space mission exclusively just for the god damn torch. That would cost an unnecessary shit ton of wasted tax money.
Are they seriously going to allow an open flame in a pure oxygen environment? Won't happen
what a waste of oxygen, a vital resource on the ISS

They'd die if their atmosphere was pure oxygen
[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;28283439]Yes, because a global sporting event where you create a new town and several massive complexes every two years is so economical to begin with.[/QUOTE]
That was kind of stupid to begin with, but really, this is just taking it too far.

They'd feel pretty awesome for the first few minutes, though. Fair trade-off

Where does this misconception that the ISS is a pure-oxygen environmnet come from?
[QUOTE=Crimor;28284003]So [B]pure oxygen, and 90% vodka[/B], yeah, really a safe area for flames.[/QUOTE]
Sir I have to see your credentials, I doubt your concept of "purity" to some degree.

It comes from idiots who don't realise pure oxygen is lethal.
