It's not the air; it's the pressure.  We've graduated from blowdown, and we 
need 4500 psi for the pressurant tank.  One option, of course, is to buy 
several pressurant tanks (they're COTS paintball tanks) and swap them out 
between flights, but we're trying to avoid that.  The less we change 
between flights, the better.
