Just had a walk of shame through the steam store and bought portal 2

[@TastySuffix]

The only thing I’m confused about now is how good Chell’s grip strength is

[@Mikohanyou]

They did say the reason Chell wasn't an ideal test subject was that she was a stubborn subject who refuses to give up. She is sure as hell wasn't going to stop being that way on the moon.

I love how glados actually saves chell instead of letting her die

[@noniaanimates]

“And she can survive”

[@rushinroulette4636]

2 additional points to consider in your calculation. Chell is sort of in the slipstream of Wheatly, so as he is a sphere, she might actually be pulled towards him thanks to Mr. Magnus and his effects which could partially explain how Chell has such monstrous grip strength in these insanely high wind speeds.

[@waisland8101]

The only problem I had with this scene was wheatley flowing into space, 407 m/s would not be enough to even get stuck on the moons orbit. So in the post credits scene he should be lying on the moons surface, not floating around.

You can tell MatPat is really getting used to being a dad with that Blue's Clues pun.

Also she’s so close to wheatly he’s probably drafting her a little so she’s not getting all 910 to the face

[@ThatGuy-te9wh]

This actually raises the idea of creating a portal at the bottom of the ocean and then creating one on the moon so the water flows in, boils on the moon, and creates a proto-atmosphere.

[@BJCMXY]

Wheatly's chassis also probably provided a buffer between her and the full force of the air rushing past her...not a large buffer...but probably enough to bring the speed closer to that specified "Safe" Wind Speed Zone.

"This is one small step for man..."

[@chilidog2469]

I’m still curious how accurate Chell has to be to get the portal several feet from Apollo 11

[@killer13324]

the amount of wind hitting Chell's face could have possibly been reduced, at least slightly, by having wheatly in the way taking the full brunt of those forces.
