Just fire them at earth-orbit speed in the opposite direction and they'll fall into the sun.
That’s a fucload of delta-v. just shoot them out of the solar system. It’d be cheaper.
Nah, just aim them for the sun and hope for the best.
They'll be dead due to lack of oxygen within a few days anyways, does it matter if their stinky corpses get burned up in the sun or not?
Why bother to send them in a sealed vessel.
Why, the pretense of hope of course!
Then livestream their evil little faces as they realise they're about to run out of oxygen and there's nothing they can do about it 😈
