Would it be feasible to shoot trash and radioactive waste into the sun or into space? What would the pro´s and cons be?

I was just thinking about it and i can´t seem to make negative sides to it, and it seems like a good way to rid ourselves of radioactive waste more easily than to store it in mountains.

Because first of all, to quote a classic, **rockets explode**.

You sure you want to put radioactive waste on a thing that has a small chance of blowing up really bad?

Also, getting stuff into orbit still costs a lot.

Oh, and by the way: crashing into the Sun takes a lot of energy! When you leave Earth you still are in a ~ 30 km/s orbit around the Sun. To reach the Sun, you need to overcome that.
