This could be a stupid question, but could we not literally fire this stuff into the sun? My science be bad, forgive me.

  Because sometimes rockets explode. Not a stupid question, though.

    All or nothing though, eh? :P But seriously I see your point, but would the cost (economic, social, environmental) of developing a launch tech that could get the mass out of the atmosphere without rockets, heading towards the sun, not be be worth it? The amount of applications for that would be insane.

      I'm not sure I'd trust a slingshot either :)

        What about one made that had an NFT?

  what if the launch goes wrong and suddently you have a nuclear waste going all over the place. Anyway I think the resources and overall cost to put this amount of material in space would be... astronomical.
