IMHO I do not think nuclear will save us from climate change - it takes too long to get going to be effective - but this is going to really agitate some chud/nerd brains worms
The fuel in a rocket is a small percentage of the actual cost to launch, the rocket itself costs millions of hours of labor to make and is single use. Space is not a viable solution for any kind of waste disposal.
It takes years to construct them and hundreds of thousands of people working on them, its a really big undertaking. The ones that reuse first stages can only do so a dozen times at most before its too fucked to use or misses a landing. Compare the ideal 30 tons or so per launch to the sheer mass of human waste and youll see space is not a solution for our trash, or even a small fraction of our most hazardous industrial waste (which is coincidentally extremely heavy material). Another issue is if you just place it in low earth orbit, it will be coming back down in a century, and if you place it in a higher orbit or send it off into solar orbit, youll drastically reduce the mass per launch making it an even more expensive undertaking.
