The space shuttle isn't capable of getting beyond orbiting the earth. Maybe some future vehicle or system though, but the costs would be fantastic. Probably cheaper just to build pyramids to store nuclear waste in, then start a curse legend to keep people away. Also, there's the problem of a vehicle blowing up and spreading nuclear waste far and wide!

OT Shooting radioactive wastes into the sun is a bad idea not because it will pollute the sun (radiation around the sun is a few gazillion times more intense than that of wastes), but because if the rocket with the waste material fails before escaping earth, we will have a horrendous pollution problem right here on earth. And, as we all know, rockets do fail regularly. PS. Interesting, now the RE thread has been transformed into an elementary physics tutorial. I guess waiting for the bubble to burst gets to be pretty boring.
