Originally, Aperture used the brightest and best of society for testing, including astronauts, Olympians, war heroes and soldiers, etc. Experimentation on a teleporting boat called the Borealis was also put into effect to try and beat out the competition from bitter business rival Black Mesa, but it suddenly vanished one day.Īperture Science Innovators continued its string of inventing and testing, but their tests could often be questionable or even corrupt, resulting in many tester deaths, including replacing human blood with gasoline, replacing human blood with peanut juice, implanting postcard-sized chips into people's heads, making humans excrete coal, pumping Fluorescent Calcium into Test Subjects' blood, creating tumors, a teleportation system that accidentally removed subjects' skin, and splicing human DNA with praying mantis to accidentally create vicious "mantis men". Turrets were developed for home security but were later discovered to be so lethal that they became used as test chamber obstacles.
Experimental diet supplements failed but were later turned into the Repulsion and Propulsion Gels. Other inventions began to make way, but not always as expected. Around that time, work began on the Aperture Science Portable Quantum Tunneling Device, which was intended to serve as an interdimensional portal-creating device (that would eventually become the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device). In 1947, Cave Johnson purchased an abandoned salt mine that ran over 4,200 meters underground in order to create the facility for Aperture Science, where they would expand their inventive and innovative pursuit beyond shower curtains.ĩ years later in 1956, Aperture signed a contract with the government to receive funding for their projects and to make and deliver shower curtains to branches of the United States military.
Johnson ended up renaming the company to "Aperture Science Innovators" in an attempt to make their products seem more hygienic and appealing to the consumers. However, then it was known as "Aperture Fixtures", and was a shower curtain manufacturing company. Aperture was founded by Cave Johnson sometime in the early 1940s.
