* Not so much IJBM as "I want to get this straight", how fast would a portal fired - because you have to fire a portal - reach the moon? Would it be able to hit the moon in that short amount of time it took in the game (a few seconds)? (I'm currently trying to calculate the physics of this to see if it checks, but I'm only in first-level, so I'm not too good at this.)

:Cave Johnson became a billionaire selling shower curtains to the US Navy. Seriously, that's what Aperture Science was founded to do. If it can make Johnson personally a billionaire, Aperture Science itself must've been significantly richer. Also for a while, they were getting government contracts to research all kinds of crazy stuff. After all, they've had portal technology since the 70s going by Portal 2's single player.

** There's also the fact that the technology to upload brains into computers in the first place (which is apparently how Caroline became GLaDOS) was created by Aperture Science under the direct instruction of an increasingly deranged Cave Johnson. GLaDOS is not ''necessarily'' just a brainscan of Caroline, it could be a fully sentient AI that happened to have Caroline's memories added to it (like a secondary personality core or something).

*Considering the stalemate button blow up in Chell's face before it's activated, what caused GlaDOS to be be plugged back in the mainframe while Wheatley and Chell had a little trip on the moon?
* Aperture Science is a company who makes Umbrella Corp looks like the ultimate shiniest paragon of sanity. At the same time, they have achieved a tech level so staggering it's making the goddamn Combines looks like space cavemen. I mean, even Tony Stark achievements IN A CAVE!!! looks like child play compare to them. They have an "enrichment center" so mind bollingly huge, one could fit the whole Black Mesa center inside it three time over, and it's 100% underground. Point being, where does Cave Johnson get his money, especially considering that pretty much every attempt at selling their stuff ended up with more and more lawsuits?

** I think although Caroline was originally GLaDOS, years of endless testing caused her to forget her original motive. Thus, Caroline became a different personality, which she remembered. Specifically, Caroline appears to be nicer and generally more human, whereas GLaDOS is more cold and calculating. Indeed, if you pay attention, you can actually her a difference when she deletes Caroline. Before, it has a bit of happiness to it, whereas GLaDOS is more monotone and cold.

* GlaDOS deleting Caroline seems rather counter-productive if GlaDOS is Caroline. And the more GlaDOS becomes her former self/Caroline, the less likely she should want to wipe her Caroline persona out. The game's purposely being really vague on the details of this subplot, so did the ARG provide any better explanations as to how much of GlaDOS is AI vs Caroline?

Assuming it's some kind of magnetic/railgun type, why not just pack in more actual bullets (as in the bullet itself, not the entire round).

** I think you answered your own question: Get more exposure to the indie developers. As someone who bought a couple of those games, it was nice that Valve collaborated them with to release some interesting DLC, with [[AmnesiaTheDarkDescent Amnesia: Justine]] immediately springing to mind, and the fact that it helped to release the game a bit earlier is nice too. Sure, I would have liked to have played the game on Friday, but I'm not against replaying a couple games I already own so that I can get a game released ''[[UnpleasableFanbase before the original day they said it would be released on.]]''
