The company announced products related to the research in a televised ceremony. In 1981, Aperture engineers completed the Heimlich Counter-Maneuver and Take-A-Wish Foundation initiatives. I haven't worked this idea out as much as the wish-taking one.' This is what will become the 'Portal' project, involving the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device and its creation of portals. Well, it'd be like, I don't know, something that would help with the shower curtains I guess. Tier 3: The 'Portal' project - As said by Johnson when it was first laid lout: 'Some kind of rip in the fabric of space.Tier 2: The Take-A-Wish Foundation - 'A charitable organization that will purchase wishes from the parents of terminally ill children and redistribute them to wish-deprived but otherwise healthy adults.' It counters the Make-A-Wish Foundation, designed to grant wishes to terminally ill children.Tier 1: The Heimlich Counter-Maneuver - 'A reliable technique for interrupting the life-saving Heimlich Maneuver.' In other words, ensure choking.The three tiers of this research and development program were: The results, he said, would 'guarantee the continued success of Aperture Science far into the fast-approaching distant past.' What happened to Cave Johnson afterward is unknown, although it is surmised he died. Brain damaged, dying, and incapable of realizing time is not now flowing backwards (thus realizing his time would come soon), he laid out a three tiered research and development program. In 1976, both of Cave Johnson's kidneys failed. In 1974, Cave Johnson was exposed to mercury while secretly developing a dangerous mercury-injected rubber sheeting from which he planned to manufacture seven deadly shower curtains to be given as gifts to each member of the House Naval Appropriations committee, likely because the decision of the Navy not getting its shower curtains from Aperture depended on that committee, and Johnson probably held a grudge against them for that. As far as 1973, Aperture also uses a BBS system. From 1957 to 1973, the company produced mostly shower curtains, eventually making Cave Johnson a billionaire. In 1956, the Eisenhower administration signed a contract with Aperture to manufacture shower curtains to all branches of the US Military, except the Navy. The name was later changed to 'Aperture Science' around 1947, seemingly random, the name was chosen 'to make the curtains appear more hygienic'. In 1943, Aperture Science was founded by Cave Johnson, as a shower curtain manufacturer called 'Aperture Fixtures'. 1.1 The Foundations for Aperture Scienceįrom Humble Beginnings The Foundations for Aperture Science.
