Actually a friend of mine who is a very high-end experimental-type astrophysicist (and a Steelers fan) made exactly the same mistake as Tyson. He saw it at once when I pointed out his error last week. It's an easy enough mistake to make for a physicist who is used to dealing with absolute pressures not gauge pressures.
Of course he still whined about the Colt's balls being fine.
I suspect that the rain was colder than 50 degrees and that there might also have been some evaporative cooling because of the wind (although the relative humidity was obviously very high).
