Use as a sink has two issues:
- getting nuclear waste out of Earth's gravity well is risky, if the rocket explodes it scatters nuclear waste throughout the atmosphere. And very energetically, given the amount of rocket fuel needed to achieve this kind of flight
- getting to planet 9 (black hole 1?) will require loads of fuel or lots (>100 years) of time. Lots of time for something to go wrong, lots of time for errors in orbital calculations to accumulate, small target to hit
- frickinLasers 7y ago> small target to hit Extremely small. The paper has a to-scale illustration of the hypothesized black hole. I wonder what happens to a bus-sized object if you send that black hole through it...
