To fill the c60 spheres it may require super fluid hydrogen... otherwise I don't know how you would get the hydrogen inside the sphere at those densities. Super fluid can leak through the smallest pores which the gaseous hydrogen molecules cannot escape. Maybe a vortex of super fluid and fullerene(60) molecules would be able to make vortices where the c60 would center the mass of the super fluid for each sphere exactly in the middle as well.

When spinning super fluid it makes a pattern of vortices instead of a single vortex like you would see in your everyday drinking glass. see url...
