Unravel the daring tale of Cold War espionage that reads like the plot of a Hollywood thriller. Set against the backdrop of the 1950s Space Race, we delve into the clandestine operation where CIA agents and a Mexican spy dismantled and studied a piece of Soviet space technology—the Luna satellite—right under the noses of the USSR.
From smoky salvage yards in Mexico City to the shadowy corridors of Langley, this story reveals the extraordinary lengths the United States went to in its quest to level the playing field in the Space Race. You’ll hear how a team of spies orchestrated one of the most audacious heists of the era, risking it all to gather intelligence that could alter the course of history.
What secrets did the Luna satellite hold? How did this covert operation remain hidden for decades? And what does this story reveal about the darker side of Cold War geopolitics? Join us as we uncover the full scope of this secret mission and explore the conspiracies that shaped the Space Race.
