Reply to comment by FrankieFiveAngels in Hey, can someone explain to me why we are not stending nuclear waste into space having a reliable rocket that can carry a decent amounts of cargo? I'm thinking about Falcon Heavy. One start a year would mean that US doesn't need to store anymore waste underground. by William0fBaskerville

Not true. Once it's in space... what then? Guess what? It floats around, gets caught by gravity and falls back to earth.

Going to the sun is very difficult. Escaping the solar system or dropping it into Jupiter would be easier
