Lords of Madness even describes extra-terrestrial beings.On the topic of freezing and clogging.Assuming that water can pass trough it then it does not even matter what side the portal is facing, since the water's pressure exceeds that of the near-vacuum of outer space, pulling the water true even with lack of gravity. After this has started the water gains momentum and even when frozen retains this momentum due to the lack of resistance, so the frozen water would not clog the portal.Depending on how much of the environment can pass trough the water might freeze on the ocean side of the portal though, but whether this ice could withstand the pulling force from the vacuum on the other side I am not sure of.If every environmental aspect could pass trough the portal then it could drain much faster than by just gravity alone. Eventually the mass around the portal in outerspace would start to form gravity and a piece by piece the entire planet could be transported trough this wormhole.Also the character could not drop it into the ocean, he would be sucked trough before he gets the chance to do so.It's hard to apply laws of physics to something that is by it's nature defying those very laws.The simplest answers to your questions are:The portal does what the DM wants it to do, and this is as bad as the DM wants it do be.It's as easy as the DM says it is.And deep space exists if the DM says it does.</blockquote>
