minus-squareSerdan@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoVacuum doesn’t suck. The atmosphere on Earth would push air through the portal with a pressure of about 1 bar.
minus-squareArcheTelos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoYes, but the flow rate is only so much. It was only open for a short time before Glados closed it.
