It also is an issue we have a lot of time to solve. It isn't like humans are going anywhere soon. It also isn't like there's that much waste. Honestly it probably won't happen until there is enough waste that local storage becomes a problem. Which at this rate would take a few hundred more years.

Until then we can figure out a solution. Something that seems crazy now will be trivial by then. For example an electromagnetic cannon to shoot waste into outer space [1].
