Even if you don't rely on aerobraking for any of the slowing down, you are climbing up the solar gravity well, so you won't need half the fuel at the far end.
You also have a much lighter ship to slow down than you started boosting from the vicinity of Earth.
One reason why Venus is so hard.
French has libre and gratuit, English conflates them as free.
Libre Office is, perhaps surprisingly, libre. Free as in speech.
The FSF and other FLOSS licence writers make it perfectly clear that charging for media, convenience, configuration, support is fine.
That many do all or some of those things gratuit is just an indication of the size of actual costs involved. Too cheap to meter.
The difficult question about solar power satellites was always how thd power that paid for them, and an orbital infrastructure around them, was to get to the planet.
Use it up there. Ship the data.
Make use of power within Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere illegal, watch as had panels dread.
If they'd like to drop inward a little - more sunlight, less eclipses - then thry could cluster around L1 and marginally decrease Earth's insolation helping to counter existing trouble from prior burning.
A few implementation details, but the market I'm told will work such things out.
I know little of this stuff, but I gather MUMPS, and then M, regard the whole collection of data - a medical record system for instance - as a global.
And it is mapped onto an area of hard drive.
MUMPS has been around for a long time, but perhaps would prefer Optane to rust already?

It is a bit outdated.
Probably several sociologists could earn their doctorates of philosophy (PhD) by contributing new understanding of why.
Meanwhile, doctorates in Philosophy followed doctors doing medicine and when natural philosophers got going theiy aspired to doctorates.
Philology, etymology, that's where to look.
