We have this generation's Tesla (Elon Musk) making reusable rockets that now make space a realistic solution to a few of our worst problems.
Why aren't we paying this man to take our trash and nuclear waste to space and put it in basically in a huge silo and send it on a one-way trip to the sun?
Our planet is just about if not already beyond saving. That doesn't mean we shouldn't at least try for future generations. Rockets full of trash are the least we can do.
