I’m sure there’s a perfectly good reason why we haven’t done this yet. Too expensive? Would launching it into the sun cause the smoke (if there is even smoke in space) to find its way back to Earth, therefore polluting the air?

This is an incredibly stupid question.

    It’s not too expensive.

    The defense budget of the USA is 840 billion dollars. That’s not too expensive.

    The reason it’s not being done is there’s no money to be made.

    Profit first, survival of the species second.
