In Portal, using the portal gun to get to the moon is the obvious space travel usage, but I think people are overlooking how it’d let you trivially break the rocket equation.
Hell, you could build a >1g torchship using nothing but the ocean.

@foone@digipres.club @cstross@wandering.shop oh, put the planteside portal low in the gravity well where the atmospheric pressure matches your requirements and have the shipboard aperture vent directly into space, won’t even need to torch it
…it would very slightly suck the gas giant towards the planetside portal though
