It would be more safer to launch this stuff into Geostationary Orbit, where the television satellites are broadcasting from. Material in this orbit can be expected to hang around for a long long time.

No.

And you should not want to do so.

Simply put, most fission products and activation products are gone in 300 years. That's why a repository is ideal.

The longest lived stuff in Spent Fuel is Actinides, which are fuel. They are either fissionable, fissile, or fertile. As such, they belong in a reactor being converted into shorter lived fission products, with mankind benefiting from the energy produced.

Part of our problem is over mining new Uranium and not using what we already have.
