    Better bury them in normal unmarked grave in the middle of nowhere so they will be forgotten.

    OP is proposing a monument to the people we hate which is opposite to what we want.

        Yeah, but better not vitrify. Better just burn the body so there’s nothing remaining. Vitrifying will just preserve them, which we don’t want. I propose burning because nothing will be remaining of them

          Burning, as in common cremation, turns someone to ash with some components that are not fully reduced. Vitrification homogenizes them even further.

          But the point is also to take them out of the ecological cycle. The material of scattered ashes are processed by the ecology and eventually are reintegrated into larger and larger life forms again. By reducing a tyrant to a solid and locking them in a vault, their material is removed from the life cycle for as close to eternity as we can fathom.

          Now if we had the option of throwing them into the sun, that would nicely reduce them to plasma, but that involves a heavy duty launch vehicle like the Atlas V. (My dad did the calculation once, and that would get about 150 lbs into the sun. Escaping earth is expensive.)

    Funny but a terrible fucking idea

    The whole point is making sure everyone realizes that you can’t use anything down there, that there’s no gold, no wealth, etc.

    But let’s say you buried Trump down there… Maybe not now but in 100 years, you might have some weird rumors floating around about how they secretly buried this corrupt leader who stole tons of money from the US into this one area where no one would think to dig up because of those signs.

    You would ruin the point of those sites. Nothing but unwanted radioactive waste should ever be laid there and spoken of laid there. As soon as you use it as an actual tomb, you will eventually have literal tomb raiders. You don’t want any historians even considering it. There should be no good reason.
