I see a lot of fair concerns about nuclear waste. Here's a crazy thought: Can we just send it to space?

With all recent developments in space technology, I'd expect it to be extremely safe and reliable in the next decades.

The failure mode of flying nuclear waste is much, much worse than just leaving it in the ground. It's relatively safe in the ground; the concerns are unfounded.

What happens when, through mistake or sabotage, that space bound vessel explodes in the atmosphere?
