Not very smart. But they needed a sequel so…

It's a Navy thing. Burial in space instead of burial at sea. I think Leonard Nimoy intended for Spock to be dead until they offered him a pile of money to come back.

The radiation from Spock's corpse contaminated the planet. Duh.
Why didn't Kirk anticipate that? A new planet contaminated by something that shouldn't be there.
Lol

A planet is a big object. I don't think Spock could be so radioactive to harm it.

Okay, everything was explained within the first 20 minutes of the film. Duh

In the book he was supposed to burn up in the atmosphere, but Saavak programed it to land instead.
