you realize there no oxygen in space right? meaning you cant burn anything. even if you carried your own oxygen, do you realize how many tons of waste is created each year? it currently costs like 10,000 usd to send a pound of stuff to space, the world makes like 3+ million tons of waste a day, i'll let you do the math on much must it would cost to burn stuff in space.
