Why don't we just launch trash into space?

[Anonymous]

I don't mean our failed technology but I mean actual trash, we are legit just piling it up into mountains and calling the places dumps and hope it grows grass, why doesn't the world accumulate it all into one place where all countries involved invest to just launch it all into space, at some point a black hole will make that shit illogically disappear, possibly shoot it into another part of space, a few rockets every decade or whatnot could work or even century, or we can send it to mars and ruin Elon musk plans, screw his planet, I know he just wants to take that shit over to rule it 😂

Too expensive like others said.
yiu know… growing up, we didn’t produce this kind of trash… so eliminate plastic containers.

[Asker]

Yea there's nothing we can do with plastic besides inject it into our blood, just speed up the process lol

[jshm2]

Two main reasons - It is fucking hella expensive to put shit into space. Trash isn't worth that much to be flown into space.

Secondly, what goes up, must come down. A lot of the shit flown into space and abandoned, will breakup and fall back to Earth over time.

So it's not really solving anything, and wasting already finite resources.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Are you serious? That would cost millions of dollars?

[Asker]

Probably but it's gonna cost us a lot more in medical bills if we don't find a solution for plastic trash lol

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Lol I knooo

[CriminallyInsane]

Have you ever seen that episode of Futurama about launching the garbage ball into space?

[Asker]

Nope, I've never watched futurama before but valid episode lol

[sage2021]

Maybe Elon Musk can take the trash into outer space with his rocket! 🚀

[Asker]

Yea maybe, we can ask him if we ever run into him lol

[strateguy632]

Because we shouldn't pollute! Also burning plastic at high temperatures breaks it into good co2 to feed trees. But yeh landfills are terrible!

[DryGermanGuy]

Way too expensive. What's wrong with recycling and waste-to-energy creation?

[Asker]

That they are putting it in the ground, there's legit mountains of trash, I am the lorax and I speak for the trees, I'm worried about the soil 😂

Expensive would be if all the plastic and long degrading materials poisoning the earth, that will come out in our food and plants etc.

[DryGermanGuy]

Yeah, I agree with that. Throwing trash into the landscape should be a thing from the past.

[loveslongnails]

There's not enough profit in it. God forbid you advance technology to resolve some of the issues and do a thing that's good for humanity. God forbid that.

[DryGermanGuy]

Sounds about right. I watch a lot of YouTube traveling videos, it's practically a given that Americans are commenting why Germans need five different waste bins. :-)

[Twodogs0525]

I don't think Rosie O'Donnell could break earths gravity.

[Apulu_backagain]

We kind of already do that.

[Asker]

We do? Good lol

[Apulu_backagain]

Yeah, all the waste material from spacecrafts and space station and rockets are just roaming around in space.

[Asker]

Not what I meant lol

[Apulu_backagain]

Ngl humans are so bad they might even start global warming in space.

[Asker]

Might find a way to destroy a black hole or turn it it into the opposite of a vacuum 😂

[Kenkebuttery]

I'm gonna launch you into space

[Asker]

I'd come back with a gang of martians and beat yo ass

[Kenkebuttery]

Why you gotta be all violent

[Asker]

Cause you wanna throw me into space, there's no air up there you asshole 😂

[Anonymous]

Futurama already did that episode 🚀
Lol you're speaking of fiction
No I don't think it'll ever become a trend or an established thing

[nik_the_cur]

Imagine gravity pulls them together and they form a small planet eventually

[Xawyx-2]

Because aliens would probably complain 😜

[LC75LC71]

Way, far, ridiculously too expensive!
