Bethesda just released the modding tools for Skyrim, and in the ultimate cross-franchise canon destroyer, Valve released Fall of the Space Core, Vol. 1.
With new (but not so fresh) lines from the space core of Portal 2 fame, now falling from space into Skyrim.
Portal now officially takes place in the Elder scrolls universe (no it doens't).
The space sphere can be installed from Steam, and found west of Whiterun, and there are already lots of youtube videos showing it off, such as this one:
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE in Skyrim More stuff they worked on instead of HL3

Haha, that's awesome. Although I never did get how Wheatley and the space core started floating around in space, they should just be on the moon's surface.

The spheres were blow out into space by the pressure differential between earth's atmosphere and the moons lack thereof.
Whether that would be enough to achieve escape velocity, even at 1/6th earth gravity, remains to be seen.

^^LOL
There's no way in hell that pressure differential could accelerate them to escape velocity, even on the moon. Quite unlike Valve to mess up that part...

Can almost push myself to buy it on Steam now.
<Brumisator> dr matta is starting to act more and mor like the retarded part of gui's brain when he posts

Fus ro SPAAAACCEEEEEEEEE
I used to go to space, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

Shampoo, you are so banned for making that shitty unoriginal joke.
Don't we have anyone still in school who is good at math and physics here?
I'll even pose the problem
Postulate an elliptical hole approximated to a circular hole to 1m diameter in a wall, separating two environments with a pressure differential of 1.05Pa.
Postulating 1.63m.s-2 gravity on the low pressure side, directly perpendicular to the hole, towards the hole.
Ignoring friction, Could a sphere of approximately 50cm diameter be propulsed far enough to escape the gravitational pull?

I don't know if this is correct but let me give it a try...
If we model Wheatley as a sphere we can assume that a circle made out of the diameter of the sphere will represent the flat surface area on which the air pressure acts. i.e. onto one side of the sphere that is Wheatley
diameter = 50cm = 0.5m
radius = 25cm = 0.25m
Area = 2 x π x 0.25 = π/2 m2
Therefore the force on Wheatley from air pressure as he exits the portal = π/2 x 105 = 50000π Newtons
If we assume Wheatley weighs 10Kg then his acceleration would = 50000π/10 = 5000π ms-2
That's an acceleration of 15.71Km/s-2
According to wikipedia the escape velocity on the moon is 2.4Km/s in which case only a fraction of a second of acceleration is required in order to propel Wheatley into space. This means that Valve may be correct
More likely my calculations/assumptions are wrong

Make sure to hit its weak spot.
