>tfw this will never ever return to earth and will always

Obvious bait but...

1. Too expensive and
2. Too risky. Tfw rocket carrying nuclear payload explodes in our atmosphere.

How can voyager steer?
And how the fuck does it have better Data Signal than Vodafone in rural areas?

>tfw go outside and get clobbered with layers of radioactive dust that's been swirling around ever since the Waste Removal Rockit exploded
>tfw my tumor begins to talk
>tfw have a date in an hour

>we discover life on a nearby planet
>greatest discovery in the history of biology
>dirty bomb from two centuries ago is on a relativistic-speed collision course

Bad enough we pollute the Earth, let's pollute the galaxy while we're at it.

lol

Jesus you're an idiot.

A) it costs too much. Do you even have any IDEA how much it cost to put even a small payload into orbit, much less reach earth gravity escape velocity?

B) Umm, ROCKETS BLOW UP ON THE LAUNCH PAD ALL THE TIME. Just think about that for a second. Then delete your thread.

Big fucking receiver antennas with litterally nothing in the way. The latency sucks though.

Because the space is not for us and that is not our trash.

But how does it steer if it comes too close to a Planet?
If it has fuel, it will eventually Run out of it and crash

Cost per year per lb to store nuclear waste is roughly 3.37$

To send an object into space, not nuclear waste is 10,000 per lb. And it would be logical to assume nuclear waste would cost even more.

The nuclear waste in storage will dissipate due to its half life before it would be cost effective to send it into space..

Pretty sure it won't because the course was made so that it would leave the system, which it did.
Now, the chances that it runs into another one are low enough to not bother thinking about steering

>>8075805
why not launch off from the antarctic? Besides cost being a factor. or throw it at some lifeless region of the antarctic
>>8076667
they calculate the paths decades in advance anon, there's not going to be a planet that suddenly appears out of nowhere getting in the way

>>8076566
lol

Shut up faggot before we blast you and the rest of the hippies into orbit around fuckin jupiter

There is no such thing as "nuclear waste"
If its radioactive then there is energy you can get from it
