Nuclear waste should stay on earth
It's going to be humanity's longest lasting legacy and you can never have enough for killing dissidents

in comparison to cosmic proportions of the Earth, Sun, Milky Way, etc.
whichever amounts of radioactive energy or nuclear emissions man and woman have produced on Earth so far has 0 impact or consequence in the universe.
any material ejected beyond Earth's sphere of gravitational influence, i.e. towards the sun or or into Jupiter would basically become insignificant/non-existent to anything around it, like space.
uncalculable amounts of (radioactive) energy exist in and are exeted by unfathomable amounts of sources.
human's and huwoman's existence and doings on planet Earth practically have absolutely no impact or meaning in the universe

On a geological timescale the Anthropocene might be as significant as Liz Truss's time in office
but nuclear waste might help a yet to evolve equivalent species in the far future to piece together what humans were up to

It's what the Pak did when they colonised the Earth
and realised that Tree of Life couldn't grow here.

I’ve almost finished the Foundation series.
My god, what a load of shite.

About five too many.
Honestly I enjoyed reading the entire John Carter series more.
Asimov is woefully overrated. There, I said it.

I’ve only read the Foundation books so far.
So no robots until the last book, the ones that are there are indistinguishable from humans (who apparently have psychic and telekinetic powers because reasons) and all the main characters are arrogant Marty Stus. I think they’re at most half a dozen female characters ranging from battle axe through demure hausfrau to pliant sex object. Painful to read frankly.
Maybe the robot books are better, but that would hardly be an achievement. The TV show bears little resemblance to the first book but apart from Reece Shearsmith and that atrocious accent of his it’s a bloody good thing.

I assume the TV show is a narrowcasting thing? I'm sure I'd have noticed it on proper television.
His robot short stories are pretty good (as long as you accept that he just doesn't understand women).
I'd avoid his guide to bottom pinching, etc.

Apple TV
The title sequence is a sight to behold in 4K

I suggest you pirate the first couple of episodes if Apple don’t do a free trial. What they’ve done with the Emperor is quite interesting, as is the original robot character.

You know we've left stuff on the moon, right?
Just to reiterate Woodkovsky's remarks, combine all the radioactive material ever produced by humans and compare its radioactivity to a single solar flare or CME event. The sun laughs in the face of our radioactive prowess. The ionising radiation coming from the galaxy in general laughs squarely in the face of the sun. The ionising radiation from the universe laughs in the face of the galaxy.

Yes humanity is insignificant and irrelevant, we get it

I think you misconstrued my comment
I'm not concerned about contaminating space. I was pointing out that radioactive waste within the lifespan of earth could be one of the signs that humans once lived here
That, and the bones of the royals
