I don’t think that will ever become cost effective unless we either discover anti-gravity, or have a space elevator setup. Dumping nuke waste on the moon or in a non-earth intersecting orbit is not that hard, getting from the ground to earth orbit in the first place. Very hard.
I meant to send it off on a straight trajectory. I know, “what if there was an accident.” OK, I guess I don’t have an answer. To be honest. It’s almost looking like we’ve become scared of ourselves. We’re not willing to take chances. I guess we’re all going on 9 volts DC here soon. :)
