ELI5: What is it about Tor that makes it so hard for the NSA and the likes to break through?

In plain English please!

When sending data over the internet it gets bounced from one server to another (e.g. yourcomputer>server1>server2>server3>serverhoastingthewebsite). 

TOR encryts the data in such a way that if they were to intercept it at one of those servers (e.g. sever2) then they would be able to identify where it came from and where it was going (server1 and server3) but not any further in the chain.
