Perhaps for testing purposes, to check for leaks. There would be no reason to do it with an astronaut inside, in fact it would be very dangerous. A blowout would give the astronaut the "bends" and quite possibly kill him. If I remember correctly, in space they run about 1/3 to 1/4 of sea level pressure, of pure oxygen, in order to keep the suits limber enough to move around in. Too much pressure inside and the suit would "starfish", splaying out and leaving the astronaut nearly immobile. The first spacewalker was a Russian, who had to release a lot of his air pressure in a hurry so he could get back inside his craft!
What else can I help you with?
Why do divers watches say they are pressurized to three atmospheres?
This basically means that when the diver is underneath the water, the pressure down there is 3 times the pressure at normal land level. This means that the watch won't crack or break at three atmospheres worth of pressure.
Name three types of special equipment astronauts need to work in space?
Space suits: to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and provide oxygen. Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs): for spacewalks to enable astronauts to move and work outside the spacecraft. Tether systems: to keep astronauts connected to the spacecraft while working in space.
Has earth had three different atmospheres?
Yes, Earth has had three different atmospheres over its history. The first atmosphere was formed mostly by volcanic gases, the second was rich in carbon dioxide and water vapor, and the third is the current atmosphere dominated by nitrogen and oxygen.

When was Vectors in three-dimensional space created?
Vectors in three-dimensional space was created in 1978.
Can three points determine space?
Three points can determine a plane but not 3-d space.
How does science define the term 'space'?
Space is the three-dimensional gravitational field in which all matter and energy exist and interact. It is measured in length, area, and volume. In astronomical and common parlance, the term refers to the near-empty region outside the earth's atmosphere as well as the atmospheres of all other bodies in the universe. It is the property of the universe in which material entities coexist with each other and have extension.
