Well to be more precise, I took the comoving stress energy tensor of photon gas, rho*diag(1,1/3,1/3,1/3) in the natural units, and Lorentz transformed it. Same for dust, only its comoving stress energy tensor is rho*diag(1,0,0,0).

Okay, so you weren't basing the braking pressure of the gas off of the atmospheric pressure of the gas, but simply off of its density?

I guess I shouldn't be too shocked that super-high vacuum is approximately frictionless.
