Why can't trash be dumped into space?
Is it possible to carry waste into space?
The earth currently has about 9.1 billion tons of waste, the figure could reach 15.1 billion tons by 2050. With many risks, environmental hazards make people think of carrying waste out into space. .
Want to send something out of space, to spend 20,000 USD / kg of material.
A symbolic number, wanting to send something out into space, costs 20,000 dollars per kilogram of matter. On average, the United States produces 250 million tons of rubbish every year, bringing waste into the space that consumes hundreds of trillions of dollars each year.
Assuming that, if this cost goes down, it is not feasible to carry garbage out into space.
The problem is not just money. Many factors such as trajectory, material, gravity, radiation . must be considered. The worst scenario is that the garbage ship is in distress, the garbage is spread radioactive substance down, causing environmental damage.
In addition, the contamination of the universe is difficult to accept. Toxic substances brought into space disturb the galaxy. In fact, Earth orbit is filled with space junk with more than 500,000 fragments, 17,000 miles per hour, threatening space stations and spacecraft.
So work is not feasible, threatening the Earth.
