Standard Atmospheric pressure is 1 bar at sea level. 0.75 bar is less then 1 bar. In the standard model Atmospheric pressure is 0.75 Bar at 8000 feet. That is why radiators boil over more often at high altitudes then low altitudes. It takes less heat to boil water at high altitudes then low altitudes.

If you are exposed to the vacuum of space. You will not die from asphyxiation. You will die from being boiled alive as the water in your body boils due to the extremely low pressures. That that low of pressure the heat of your body is enough to boil water.

That boiling point data is a little suspect - a 50-50 coolant mix will boil well over 100C at atmospheric pressure, let alone 0.75 bar.
.75 bar pressure - not vacuum.
Pressure above atmospheric increases boiling point; if the green cap (for instance) is 14 psi, I'm not good at the metric stuff but it would be ca. 1 bar + atmospheric, = 28 psi above absolute zero. We ran a thirty-pound cap on the NASCAR stock car, and sometimes saw 250 on the gauge without losing juice.
