how can any metal not rupture under 2hundred million pounds per square inch of the surface?

This is the answer to one of the weight problems of space travel, why waste space carrying gas to be shot out of the small jets of the space suit when you can feed the astronauts beans, and build in some fart collecting and re-distribution device so the fart power can be used to push them about in weightlessness.
Because F.A.R.T. would be more efficient (watch Kenny Vs. Spenny)

Depends on the shape. It won't necessarily rupture but it may undergo a change or nuclear fission (this is actually how all modern nuclear weapons work).
