Going to the moon adapted ICBM technology, but it wasn’t intended to further ICBM development. It was simply the last chance for America to save face having been roundly spanked at every step of the space race with the USSR.
The space race at large was all a cover for weapons development…
It was two super powers on either side of the globe competing to show they could hit the other in the dick from that far away.
Absolutely no one in either government who controlled funding ever gave a fuck about the science for science sake, or even PR.
Shooting nuclear waste into the sun is a much saner reason that comes with all the bonuses. But obviously it’s for an ideal society after we solve wealth inequality so we can pay for it and actually use the developments for science and not killing each other.
I mean, the way we got rid of our military reactor “waste” for decades was selling it to the French, who refined it for their reactors…
Real waste that’s an issue is radioactively contaminated steal and the like, we can’t use any of that juice, but we can keep refining fuel forever if we wanted to.
It’s just a big heavy object, and we need big heavy payloads and an excuse to launch them. So let’s take all that real waste and launch it at the sun for the fuck of it.
Military reactor waste predominately goes to the Hanford site, you can actually see it on satellite imagery
Activated steel is actually super easy to deal with, it gives off gammas which are bad but because they don’t get that hot you can just bury it which is infinitely easier than risking spreading radioactive contamination in the stratosphere and having it rain down on people
Yes, you must be correct that’s why all the nuclear physicists and nuclear engineers think your idea is ridiculous yet a bunch of people with only a high school diploma think it sounds so smart…
Another great idea you should look into is the water powered car that all the experts that say it doesn’t work are just owned by big oil

The risk from launching nuclear waste in the sun is so much worse than the risk of burying it
We have so little high level nuclear waste it’s actually crazy to think about
Like all of the dry casks we made in the history of commercial nuclear power could fit on a single football field
Dig big hole bury waste, no step 3

Looks like you have a habit of being wrong in nuclear threads and no interest in learning.
Hopefully people don’t listen to you, but it’s obvious you don’t want any help understanding
