#2 Brer - The last No Dung launch put a sat in a polar orbit and had it crossing Washington DC from the SSE on it's first orbit. It was stated that we had no anti-missile defenses for that path. I realize that a nuke couldn't take the same path on the No Dung as it weighs more but that implies with some boosters or a better second stage on the No Dung it would be possible.
