We sketch two rigorous proofs of the stability of the hydrogen molecule in quantum mechanics. The first one is based on an extrapolation of variational estimates of the groundstate energy of a positronium molecule to arbitrary mass ratios. The second one is an extension of Heitler-London theory to nuclei of finite mass.
