Aug 22, 2018 at 14:23 comment added jaxad0127 @Battle that beachhead machine would be quite difficult for the same reason. Random N2, O2, COs, H2O, etc molecules are now all over it, in the circuitry, in the mechanics, everywhere. Might work to include a temporal beacon and put it in orbit with a controlled descent programmed in. Errors in descent could be good story material (touches down in the wrong place).

Aug 22, 2018 at 6:55 comment added Battle Consider the possibility of the machine creating a vacuum in which the people are transferred, simply by pushing away the air (and other matter) originating from one point and keeping it like that until the process is completed. Now, they could transfer the air with them, thus negating any potential issues caused getting into vacuum for a moment - or they could not. Either way, while the answer is good, it leaves little to allow time travel on the surface of Earth to be possible, which may be bad for storytelling. Lethal may be just a bit too much.
