    I would contact NASA and tell them to launch a robot to mars that can shoot it. I’d shoot it at the ground, then put it on the robot, then have a portal to mars.

      Watching the atmospheres of Earth and Mars try to reach equilibrium right when the portal opened up would be pretty interesting!

        If you set one end up in an air-tight room with an airlock, it would be just like a door from a mars station.

        For safety’s sake, it might be better to put that on a space station, though. Better to wreck Mars than equalize Earth and Mars.

      I’m wondering if the people suggesting it for planetary travel have played Portal 2. It uh…it doesn’t end too well when they try.

      Why put one on the robot? Am I missing something?

        It’d be a waste of time to send a human to mars.

          So if the robot shoots the portal on the ground and then itself, what good does a set of portals that are both on Mars do?

            You shoot one portal on earth, then attach it to the robot.

              Oh you mean the ground here. Lol it makes a lot more sense that way 😂

              Just misinterpreted the wording. Carry on.
