Exploring the Challenges of Space-Based Waste Disposal

Sending Earth's garbage into space is not feasible due to high costs, environmental concerns, and safety risks. Launching trash into space would require significant fuel and thrust, leading to pollution and potential damage to the ozone layer. Additionally, the risk of space debris and Kessler syndrome, where space becomes unusable due to collisions, poses a threat. While ideas like sending waste to the moon or Mars are considered, they are impractical due to future colonization plans and logistical challenges. Recycling remains the most viable solution for now.
