    He can move to the surface of the sun. Just tell him it’ll be cool and dark if he goes at night, he’s a moron so it has a good chance of working.

      That’s just wasteful. It’s about 3 times more fuel efficient to hurl him into the crushing depths of Jupiter than the fires of the sun.

        One good burst and let him go ballistic, whether or not he makes the sun isn’t particularly relevant.

          You still need to make sure he goes away from earth, not accidentally tumbling towards it in a few thousand years.

            I’m not mad at the many bacteria that make up the majority of his body. They can come back in a couple thousand years, after they thoroughly wash the musk off.

            Do the ISS astronauts dump their waste in a decaying orbit? If so, he would just be another dehydrated turd burning up in the atmosphere on reentry.

                I know these scales are difficult to imagine, but his Rocket burning up in Orbit isn’t even a blip on the radar compared to what he does now, and will do for the foreseeable future.

          Orbital mechanics is fun like that. To over simplify things, you would have to cancel out the speed we travel around the sun or you would have to add speed to get to the high orbit Jupiter has. It actually takes less energy to escape the pull of the sun than it does to send something to the sun.

      He’s already paying for Mars, just tell him you’ve solved all the safety issues and his private rocket is all ready. He can take anyone he likes with him, they just have to be able to buy their own tickets, don’t want any non-billionaires along.

      Send him on one of his heavy rockets. We know how well his stuff works.

      I know he doesn’t actually design this stuff but the stupid things he asks his engineers to do is what is wrecking his companies.
