Interesting, help me understand how Space Force can help in getting rid of nuclear waste stored at Yucca? Carrying it up and releasing?

Only other way would be burning it in a fusion reactor to draw out the 99% fuel/energy waste you get with fission...

Or have I missed the main point of this entire discussion...lol

Hasn’t been a discussion yet. Just threw that out for speculation. I was thinking dumping it on the moon or Mars. Some place where there was so much empty land it would be eons before it caused trouble. Though it would, eventually.

At the very least if we’re not going to use it we should drop it down the subduction zone trenches to help keep the asthenosphere nice and lubricated and the Erf happy 😃
