It's absurdly energy-intensive to get something to fall into the sun, so there would be no point unless it was too dangerous to have on earth. If that were true

It's absurdly energy-intensive to get something to fall into the sun, so there would be no point unless it was too dangerous to have on earth. If that were true, then the risk of launch failure, failure to enter and leave orbit, etc would be too great.
