  3. Fascinating story that was declassified 30 years ago. The CIA "borrowed" a Soviet satellite that was on a world tour one night in Mexico City. There, the satellite was disassembled, photographed and whatnot...put back together and crated back up. The Soviets were not aware of what happened. Here's a great writeup from MIT https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/01/28/1016867/lunik-cia-heist-steal-russian-satellite-space-us-ussr/ Announced last November, a movie is being made of this event. Hopefully, they don't screw it up, because this has incredible potential: https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/lunik-heist-a-real-life-cia-rocket-kidnapping-goes-to-hollywood#:~:text=The film is based on,1959 expo in Mexico City.

  10. Because Tesla receives so many of them. And I don't how the selling of the credits works, but I suspect Tesla can name the price: https://carboncredits.com/teslas-carbon-credit-revenue-soars-to-2-76-billion-amid-profit-drop/#:~:text=More impressively%2C the company's total,struggle to meet regulatory targets.
