    Put it in a capsule that could survive re-entry into earth just in case, then launch it into the sun.

      Do you want evil Superman? Cause that’s how you get evil Superman.

      Serious answer: That would take more effort and energy than just dealing with it on earth by many orders of magnitude. It’s even harder to launch into the sun than it is to launch it outside the solar system (which is also infeasible of course)

        Yep, it would be a wealth sink that drastically advances science and pays off later.

        Just like going to the moon was an excuse to develop ICBM technology, that also paid off with a shit ton of unexpected scientific advancement.
