No, it's really not. Your car tires hold twice that in a safety-critical 
application. A scuba tank easily holds 200 times that much. How much 
pressure do you think is on the glass of a huge aquarium (like in an 
aquarium museum type building)? Submarines? It's not really that tough to 
hold out dozens of atmospheres, let alone one.

   I get "focus follows gaze"?
