RE: EMP Threat
1000km is still considered a low earth orbit. To put it into perspective, Hubble is around 600km, with some polar and solar satellites between 600-1700km. So it would be doable. The question is the power of the EMP it would cause. Because pumping something that high into orbit does take an awfully big about of fuel! Think about the space shuttles used to get to the orbiting space stations. The 3 major parts are all rocket boosters. The shuttle itself is pretty small. So to get a BIG nuke that high is going to be really hard work.

It's a good read and worth while. Thanks for posting.
