Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun?

I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason why we haven't done this yet. Too expensive? Would launching it into the sun cause the smoke (if there is even smoke in space) to find its way back to Earth, therefore polluting the air?
This is an incredibly stupid question.
You're viewing a single thread.
You got it: it's expensive/ "not financially viable," so it won't happen
There is "not financially viable" and than there is spending 12 times the gdp of earth each year.
Gathering is the hard part but I'm afraid just making raw ore and water into rockets and fuel would use more energy than what we are using today, just to offset the current waste output
