waste expulsion
send waste into atmosphere to be dropped so friction burns it away | |
is landfill a problem near u, why not fire it up into space so it is burnt up on re-entry, problems would be cost

The nuclear waste would be fine. *We* would eventually suffer heavy metal and radiation poisoning. |

It's inefficient. The heat energy produced by the engines
used to fire it into space would be less than the heat
energy absorbed during the destructive reentry. In short,
it's quicker to anchor the rocket to the pad, place the
rubbish underneath it, switch the engines on and watch
it burn. |

This method has actually been proposed for hazardous
waste disposal. |
