On the side of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii, six individuals are living in Mars-like conditions as part of a NASA-funded behavioral research study. We chronicle their mission in 360 video.
In the first episode of Life on Mars, we join the Hi-SEAS Mission 5 crew during the training before their eight-month isolation begins. They meet mission support and learn about their new home, a structure they call “the habitat.” During their mission, they will have to wear spacesuits any time they leave the habitat. Their only communication with the outside world will be by email with a 20-minute delay, about the length of time it would take for a transmission from Mars to reach Earth.

Sorry for thinking of Tor instead of your favorite fake news site.

I made the same mistake. I was going to argue that this is the technically correct interpretation due to capitalisation, but it seems like the Tor kind of onion links are usually styled as ".onion links." In light of this, I now contend that we should assume ikanreed mistook your href for a single link from a chain that was carved out of an onion.

The obvious solution is for The Onion to purchase the .onion top-level domain.
