      I've always loved this idea except it's kinda hard to launch anything into the sun, and also if there's a malfunction, now we actually DO have radioactive waste just...floating around the atmosphere. Which is explicitly what we're trying to avoid. It's a cool idea but if it goes wrong, it goes too wrong.

      All well and good until the rocket it's on explodes on launch and throws nuclear waste across the whole of Florida.

      Someone explain to me why or if this is a bad idea. IDK how much mass of waste nuclear produces, so if it's not like massive coal ash ponds or some shit then surely throwing away a rocket now and then is worth it to prevent irradiating aquifers

        Oh, just posted before I saw your post, but the very short answer is that if the rocket malfunctions and explodes, you now have exploding radioactive rocket issues instead of just "we have a pile of this bad shit we don't know what to do with". Much, MUCH bigger problem. Keep that shit squarely on the ground and move it slowly and safely.
