The other reason is the ever increasing debris field and the fact it would be child's play to take out everything when small pieces of metal are traveling at 30,000mph. The Chinese made a huge mistake and added thousands of objects to the orbital debris field when they tested the concept of destroying space objects and took out one of their dead satellites.

Unmanned missions are still possible... NASA does send up satellites and robots to Mars etc.. So putting nukes in orbit is possible. But, why bother with that when they can use nuke armed submarines and quickly devastate a whole continent.
