Put the other portal in a geostationary space station: free access to orbit.
The single most (energy) expensive thing humans do is put things in orbit.
Love the idea, but (spoiler for the end of Portal 2) >!isn't that kind of what Chell did at the end of Portal 2 to defeat GlaDOS? The portal on the Moon causes the portal on Earth to suction everything out into space.!<
The portals would just need to be in a pressure equalizing chamber for that.
Your spoiler tag doesn't work

That's how you do spoiler tagYou put it inside a space station... Or out the earth side portal in an airlock.
Chell put it on the surface of the Moon.
Good point! I wonder how hard it would be to get the same pressure as Earth and in the space station?
Same as it takes on the ISS right now :-)
