One more thing. Have you thought about how the supposedly leaked radiation get back down on earth? In your scenario, the power station is in space. Wouldn't the earth gravity at least keep the toxic material in orbit?
How would any of the toxic stuff, get back down on earth?
How would any of this material keep intact while passing through the atmosphere, one of the main function of which is to reflect sun's radiation?
If it is some kind of heavy material, it would most likely burn out while passing through the atmosphere. Yes?
And in your scenario, how would the supposedly leaked radiation compare to the powerful radiation of our sun? My guess is "infinitely insignificant"... keep in mind that our sun emits a lot UV radiation. Most nuclear reactors emits radiation at much less longer wavelengths.
No, Vesicles, nobody said anything about a space launch. The article says it's a mini-generator cooled by lead to enhance safety for providing power and drinking water for up to 50,000 homes and is ideal for use on small islands. SadBlue imagined a space launch due to reading comprehension disabilities and now he's sticking with it like it's other people's crazy idea.
SB: "Hey, what do you do on the weekend?"
Others: "I chill, maybe take a walk."
SB: "Walk where? To the club? Yeah?"
Others: "Not really, the park."
SB: "What? To the club? To hit on minors?"
Others: "No, to the park to walk my dog."
SB: "You hit on kids at the club! Dude! That's gross! Pedophile!! We have a pedophile over here!"
The things you do when you have nothing else to cling to. And even if they did send it into space, he still wouldn't have a good point. He says all satellites must come back down and the reentry would be like throwing a dirty nuclear bomb at the earth. Obviously if you don't have a way to take care of that, then just use its last remaining energy (with a healthy margin of error) to push it out of orbit and into deep space instead of having it come back to earth causing a mess.
