Launches rocket fleet directly into the sun.

It takes more fuel to fire them into the sun, than deep space. It's counterintuitive, but you have to shed a lot of velocity to "fall in," but only expend a fraction as much to hit escape velocity, as you're already going quite fast.

Nah. Just load them all up on the same day, same time, and just detonate. Save on fuel and greenhouse gases.
