You cannot fold paper that many times in reality... :P  The going number is about 9 folds before the thickness is too great to be overcome.

But, for the mathematical puzzle, the answer is simple - you are doubling the thickness at each fold (a power of 2).  So, it would be (2^32)/1000" = 4294967.296" (or 67.79 miles).  Note that 2^0 = 1 (unfolded).
