  Not only that, but a recent article in Science magizine points out that
"killer satilites" can be destroyed in large numbers by a low orbit
nuclear explosion. Basically, the damage is caused by a large voltage
increase, frying the satilite. It only takes a small bomb to do this to a large
area, and it is difficult to protect against.

I'm not sure which issue of Science it was in, but it was within the last
6 months.
