If you look at the history of space missions, you will see they do not all make it. Sooner or later a launch would fail, with the waste be distributed randomly back to Earth. This would potentially make a mess from which we would not easily recover.

∙ 11y agoIt would be too expensive. There are thousands of tons of radioactive waste being stored all over the world. It would not be good to put it in orbit, since it might return to Earth for what ever reason. To boost so much weight into escape velocities would cost billion or trillions of dollars. It is much better to develop safe ways to store the waste in ways that will keep it safe for 100s of thousands of years.
The facts are simple:
# Radioactive waste is a huge problem. # Accidents happen. # It is not just going to go away. # Safe storage methods must be found before unscrupulous people start dumping it into the environment to the detriment of the whole ecosystem.
