You can’t. The moment the surface moves, it’s unstable and the portal pops. They’re quite specific about this in the games.

minus-squareTakumidesh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down3·2 years agoPortal surfaces can move. By nature everything is moving, we just happen to be in the same frame of reference. Regardless, here is a video of a portal on a moving surface from portal 2. https://youtu.be/OrAHvenjZpA?si=VY5dRvUP8_LPgOPO (around the 1 minute mark) Additionally shooting a portal on the moon also demonstrates that movement is allowed (since the moon is in a non synchronous orbit)

It’s still canon, no?
