Why not just launch it in a shuttle and let it go once out of earth atmosphere?

because there is always the chance that something could happen to the shuttle. if the shuttle crashed into the ocean, carrying ton and tons of nuclear waste, what do you think is gonna happen? uhm... dead fishies... polluted water... waste dissipating all over the ocean polluting shorelines with nuclear waste. it would just be one huge mess. and i dont think it would matter how unlikely it is to crash, you dont want to take that risk do you?

Because sometimes there is an accident and the rocket blows up. Then you would have all that radio active material spread around like a dirty bomb. If putting things into space was 100%, then it would be a good idea. Nothing is 100%, not even airlines, they have crashers every so often.

Way too costly and could probably cause some sort of problem... i remember this question in a magazine once. I forget the specifics... sorry

The reason is that we dont have the right to polute the atmospehere ,the gound,the seas and let alone contaminate space.

What? Polluting our own planet isn't enough? We need to pollute space also?
