Why can’t we send earths toxic waste towards the sun to one day be incinerated?
In: Technology
We could. It would just be very expensive. Earth’s escape velocity is 12km/s. That means you need to accelerate things to that speed to escape Earth’s gravity. Better to deal with things on the ground if you can. At some point the burning of rocket fuel is doing more damage than lifting the bad things into space.
