| Dec 7, 2012 at 0:40 | comment | added | Emilio Pisanty | For one, launching radioactive waste into space is unbelievably dangerous because of the potential for the rocket to explode and turn itself into one huge dirty bomb. Practical issues aside, shouldn't we rather stop littering our own planet instead of looking for other places for our rubbish? | |
