A stupid thought??!!

Alright, this thought suddenly flashes across my mind. Since we can send spacecraft out of earth's atmosphere, why can't we just dump our trash into the universe :wtf:, instead of recyclying it or whatever? :~ Weiye Chen When pursuing your dreams, don't forget to enjoy your life...

Because it's a lot cheaper to dump it here, in the short run, at least. Personally I'd prefer not to use up all our fossil fuels on flinging rubbish into the sun.

Scenario A: We dump it all on the moon. Thousands of years later the moon gets too big and gravity sends it crashing into Earth. We all die. Scenario B: We dump it in space. Instead of children for looking for comets in the future, kids will gather around to look at streaks of trash in their telescopes. Scenario C: We send the trash further than possibly imaginable. Aliens mistake impeding trash as a sign of war. They visit Earth and kill us all. Jeremy Falcon

I would cost a bundle to send trash in space ... we should recycle as much as possible ( and I'm not doing a good job at it ! ); and companies to reduce the amount of packaging to a minimum, and offer easy access to recycle and reuse ( for example, my shampoo bottle should be easilly refillable at the store)

First of all, there is nothing wrong with stupid thoughts ! Secondly, I suspect that if you look at payload figures, more waste is created building the spacecraft... Remeber, to get rid of the rubbish it would need to escape the earth completely not just go into orbit. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Why not just launch it at the Sun and have it burn it all up? ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)! SELECT * FROM User WHERE Clue > 0 0 rows returned

Three reasons... One, it would be too expensive to burn up the spacecraft that sends the trash along with the trash. Two, if we didn’t use a spacecraft, it would take a mighty big slingshot to get the trash all way to the sun. :) Three, and most importantly, we don’t know with 100% certainty what we are dealing with and if the sun will react to it poorly. And, I for one don’t want to go screwing around with the sun to make it hotter or cooler because either way we’re all dead. Jeremy Falcon

Back in 1995 it used to cost $1million to get 1kg into space! I think it's gone down a bit since then, but the principle still holds. Joel Holdsworth

Most of our trash is in fact the chemicals and components we need. Its just currently in the wrong form. If we throw it all off the planet, we just end up denuding[^] the planet of the things we will need in the long term. This will cause further environmental damage, as we dig up new resources. We should put much more effort into recycling. I seem to remember a good New Scientist article recently about a new form of recycler that simulates the plate tectonics of the earth and gives almost 100% recycling of all components. But it was thought that it will mature just a bit too late to save the human race. Typical! :sigh: Roger Allen - Sonork 100.10016 Roger Wright: Remember to buckle up, please, and encourage your friends to do the same.

Ya know, I've been wondering something. What's the correct way to pronounce your name? :) Jeremy Falcon

That's a tough one. :) The J is pronounced pretty much like a Y before a vowel. Just a bit harder pronounciation than in, for example, You. Definately not a hard English J as Journal. As for ö, I can't seem to find a matching English sound. Think of u in further, but shorter/snappier. The r is like a German r. A very distinct and sharp r, almost rolling like a Scottish r. The last part, gen, is pronounced as a German would. A strong g.. like a "blunt k" so to speak. Nothing like g in gender, but mure like g in great. En would be pronounced as en I suppose. :) So, all in all, the pronounciation of my name is mostly German like. But I guess that won't help you much if you haven't studied German. -- Try walking in my shoes. You stumble in my footsteps.
