If the plan goes horribly wrong, be prepared to activate Ubercharge on myself and a random teammate to save us from the resultant crash.

we're opening a portal to a world filled with lava, zombies and giant fireball-shooting jellyfish. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Well, we're also in a van currently going 300mph.

Presumably, the speed would be kept.

no the van is moving at 300+ mph but to the portal IN the van it would be standing still.

I believe if you put a portal on a moving object, however, it disappears.

You know, I just realized that portal's rules about moving portals make no sense.  What's their objective reference frame of "not moving"?

Worldspawn, of course!

It could just be that changes in velocity disturb the portal and cause it to fail.

I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

But, assuming apature labs is built on a planetary surface, there's always a change in velocity due to the rotation and orbit of the planet, and these changes are pretty significant.

Maybe... but they're also very gradual. I'm pretty sure the effect of centrifugal force from the earth's orbit is so small as to be immeasurable (though that might just be because of gravity). It could also be that the designers of the ASHPD adjusted for the movement of the Earth, but obviously couldn't predict and account for movements in the environment.

LIEZ.
The portal will just give negative directional velocity, based on Black Mesa testing  :P

Not quite immeasurable, but your second idea might be right.  Still, we're on the internets!  As if planetary science matters....
