Also, what you rather have, depleting natural resources or having radioactive waste? You can still shoot that towards the sun, and gone it is. You can't gain natural resources from the sun.
uhm... uranium is a depleting natural ressource too. the estimates are that there only are about 150 years left before we are running out of it. so nuclear power has no future anyway. except maybe nuclear fusion but it doesn't look too good in this regard either. iter probably can't be funded.
shooting the waste towards the sun?
great idea. why not spray the stuff into the atmosphere when the rocket has some failure?
rockets aren't really reliable enough for something like that...
