Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the atmospheric pressure present at sea level, water boils at 100 °C (212 °F). At an altitude of 63,000 feet (19,000 m), it boils at only 37 °C (99 °F), the normal body temperature of humans. This altitude is known as Armstrong's Line. In practice bodily fluids do not boil off at this altitude.
