The average taxpayer needs to shoot 200 lbs a month of junk into the SUN?
Is a landfill not good enough for them? Not only is it a horribad waste of energy but the elemental resources in the trash are being removed from earth.
I seem to recall a comment about getting resources from asteroids. Also, energy seems to be more abundant than here, if little Susy (and Vonfogg’s comment) is any indication.
That looks like a linear accelerator/mass driver, and they don’t use much pwer at all. The Supeman verical amusement ride does the same and it runs every 5 minutes for a train od customers, far morr than a 200 lb payload and for less serious purpose. (yes, I wrote a 30 pag paper on this idea for hazardous waste in 1980)

I sense an impending super nova or the disposal of bodies being very convenient all of a sudden.

Sorry! This is PS238… You’re not thinking strange or funny enough.

Well, someone is sure to get launched into space. Given the cover, we probably know how they’ll survive it, too: Ambriel is with them.

I’d adore a link to that!

So… With the 200 pound limit, I guess that rules out using it for my mother in law.

The 200-lb limit is what the free voucher covers. Nobody says you can’t have an overage, as long as you’re willing to pay for it.
