I have studied our Earth's Problems over the years and have come up with some Ideas to solve them.
FACTS:
It will cost Trillions and Trillions of dollars to maintain & guard Nuclear Waste against Terrorists / Pollution for the Waste's half-life of 1,000 YEARS OR MORE.
The Space Shuttle Program, Space Station & Space Exploration Projects are HURTING for Money.
There is actually NO SAFE PLACE ON EARTH to store Nuclear Waste for 1,000 YEARS OR MORE!
With our Modern Capabilities we can build Explosion Proof Containers.
MY PROPOSED SOLUTION:
Send with every Shuttle Launch a container of Radioactive Waste to the Space Station.
They collect the Containers and when enough are Present, Strap them together with a rocket and send them off on a capture orbit to the moon.
Doesn't matter how fast they go, just so they end up on the Moon. Would be nice if they end up in about one place.
This accomplishes 3 things:
We won't have to pay Trillions to store AND GUARD for 1,000 years with terrorists/pollution risks - it would cost only a few million. We'd have 999 years of NOT HAVING TO PAY!
All the users of Nuclear Power pay to have Nuclear Waste Disposal, this would mean EVERY SHUTTLE / SPACE LAUNCH WOULD BE PREPAID FOR, SOLVING THEIR SPACE EXPLORATION MONEY CRUNCH. just carry a container with EVERY Launch.
We will have the Nuclear Materials for possible Power on the Moon for Expeditions in the future as we evolve our Waste Disposal Techniques to reuse this material.
Safe execution of this plan with no real risk to the public. EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL TO THE PUBLIC IN THE LONG RUN! BOTH FINANCIALLY AND HEALTHWISE.
As I said before, THERE'S REALLY NO SAFE PLACE ON EARTH TO STORE NUCLEAR WASTE FOR 1,000 YEARS - IT'S ALREADY CAUSING PROBLEMS!!!
MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION!!!
Let me know what you think of this solution.
