  Here’s how TOR works. It’s amazing.

  And here’s how Onion hidden services work…

  TOR lets journalists do their job safely from dangerous places, lets whistle-blowers report things we should know, and lets people in oppressive regimes see the rest of the Internet that their government blocks. It’s an amazing tool.

  The impact of our cars, though significant, is far outstripped by global shipping (those container ships aren’t carbon-neutral), power generation (EV cars gotta get their power from somewhere), or the simple burning of rain forests to make room for cattle or crops.

  It takes energy to smelt steel and aluminum and build a car, or to mine Rare Earth Minerals needed for the latest tech.

  Driving and old car that you maintain, repair, and keep out of the junkyard is far more environmentally sound. So far. Hoping that balance will change in near decades.

  It’s the budget for the earthbound scientists who will be handling the geology side of the mission. The astronauts can’t know everything – this is their expert ground team for one part of the mission.
