In addition to it actually being very difficult to launch things toward Venus, which others have covered well, materially reducing the amount of garbage on Earth would require an untenable launch cadence--something on the order of launching a rocket every ten seconds.

And if we could manage that we would very quickly turn Earth into Venus with all of the greenhouse gases emitted by the launches.

I am talking about using one of these new nuclear pellet ships they are currently developing to do this. Chemical Rockets have to be phased out eventually and are absolutely not suitable for this purpose. Yes I am talking about future technology.

By the time we can launch magical non-polluting rockets every ten seconds nonstop we'll probably have much easier ways of dealing with garbage.

The entire problem I have is why aren’t we working on this problem? Instead we are inventing new ways to make trash but not working on a solution.

And the answer you're overwhelmingly getting and keep trying to argue against is: because it's a very inefficient way to deal with garbage and there are better options that are far more feasible.

I ask questions like this to see how close minded a community is. I got my answer. Thanks.

Your question is stupid. The replies have tried to explain reality to you but you are too stupid to understand it. The problem is you bud. Not the community.

That moment when you can't argue with facts so you tried to pull an 'am testing y'all'

The moment you start spouting theory as fact I know exactly what you are but nice try guy.
