I think space is a good spot to dump industrial waste. And to harvest energy from the stars. Humongous place. There is still hope.
SpaceX just launched the first private mission to the International Space Station.
:D :D
Child like techno optimism, folks need to realize sci-fi is not real.
It is impractical and prohibitively costly to send just 100 Kg of waste to space, let alone all the world's industrial waste to space.
Harvesting energy from the stars is a sci-fi concept popularized by Michio Kaku, we have to get real.
There is no hope of saving industrial society, inevitable contraction has to take place. The future is low tech agrarian society of our forebears. We will be back to wearing barkskins and hunter gathering rather than attaining singularity. The hyper-technological civilization created in the last 200 years was a cosmic one off enabled by fossil fuels. We have reached peak oil, the descent has started.
