    Metallic hydrogen (MH) has been predicted to be metastable, a high temperature superconductor, and a powerful rocket propellant. If true, MH could have an enormous impact on society. We have produced MH in a diamond anvil cell and studied its metastability. At a temperature of 5 K, the load on the metallic hydrogen was stepwise reduced until the pressure was essentially zero. While turning the load or pressure down, the sample evidently transformed to the molecular phase and escaped; the hole in the gasket containing the MH closed. We were unable to determine this value of the metastability pressure. Metallic hydrogen was not observed to be metastable at zero pressure, with no uncertainty.
