A stupid thought??!!

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

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...

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
you don't need a space craft - all you need is a sling shot. :) -- Try walking in my shoes. You stumble in my footsteps.

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.
