The earth is packed full of radioactive material. That's where geothermal power in Australia comes from. There is no need to send it off into the sun. It is not technical problems that is holding up the burial of nuclear waste, it is cost. The cost problem would be overcome at a fraction of the price of rockets to the sun.

Don't be silly. Even communists can dig a hole.

Want to compare the competence of those exposed to the discipline of the market vs bureacracies?

I'm not a big fan of pointless time wasters. Like I said, there are some things a free market should be left to deal with. This is not one of them.
Digging a hole isn't safe disposal ... give it time, it will be economically expedient to send shuttles with nuclear waste into space, to send our waste into the sun, so we don't have the issue of waste lying around. Already the first steps towards this are underway via space tourism. It can take off, if we let it.

That is, if socialism doesn't take over first and completely shut down the natural progression of industry which can allow this to happen. Socialism is very near its objectives, so we must be very careful (if Obama wins the election, it's lights out and good night.) If you think dictators give a flying fuck about what happens to nuclear waste and what it might do to the population, you had better start watching some youtube documentaries on Stalinist Russia.

That's where we're headed. We are currently in a fascist state - communism mixed with capitalism - but we are moving further left. Serious as cancer (or nuclear waste.)

Allow it to happen and we will not need to store waste on the planet. And we will have far less carbon pollution. And the left will have to find another trojan horse.

Not by the invisible hand - it would leave it in a shallow grave beside the road. There are some things a free market should be left to deal with. This is not one of them.
The market is what's allowing the possibility to arise in the first place of safe disposal of waste, not government. Government puts a millstone around the market's neck. If it removed some of that load, things would progress that much faster, and we would all be so much better off.

Without government to provide tax-payer-funded infrastructure then the free market would be seriously encumbered: get a clue, dood!

Who paid for all the science that made NASA possible for your off-your-head out-of-space Nuclear-Waste-disposal-program?!? (...for but one example of the need for government to support any sort of competent "invisibleMcbloodyhand")
