But we do, we do a lot. Russia does it more. It’s why the Voyager probes are still working and sending back data. It’s why the curiosity and perseverance rovers persevere to this day.
I’m sorry, it seems like you think anybody is suggesting that launching nuclear waste to space should be a means of disposal for it. Clearly that’s not a workable solution for a dozen reasons.
A common (and reasonable) objection to nuclear powered spacecraft is the question of “what happens if the rocket explodes?” That’s really what I was responding to.
The solution for nuclear waste is frustratingly simple, bury it. It’s only a political problem because of misguided nimbyism.
I agree with burying it as the best solution. I found the articles of how we mark those locations interesting as well. You need some marking that will outlive common languages. There’s even talks about breeding cats that change color when exposed to radiation.
The problem with launching nuclear materials into space is sometimes space ships blow up and that would scatter nuclear material everywhere.
That’s why we don’t do that already.

I’ve read about those too. It’s a solution for fully utilizing a here materials. Progress.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being best)
How do you feel the voyager probes affected nuclear waste stockpiles?
There is uses buts it’s unfair to say we are anywhere close to a solution.
My argument is we don’t have a solid solution and “send it to space” isn’t a solution.
Do you disagree?

Oh I see. Sorry I was drinking.

It’s fascinating stuff
USA and the USSR already did that in the 50’s and 60’s https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=High-altitude_nuclear_explosion&wprov=rarw1
Holy shit yeah that would be awful. Idk how I didn’t consider that
A lot of people don’t think of that. I didn’t think of it until I listened to a podcast about nuclear waste.
