Actually... what happened was:

GLaDOS was very excited to be put back inside her old body. But every time she turned around she'd find her old potato body sitting there... mocking her. Angry, and wanting to put that puny vegetable battery in its place, she loaded the potato into a cannon and fired it into space. That showed it who was boss!

By absolute chance it was fired in the same direction as Wheatley and the space-core, and after some time it eventually caught up to them and collided with Wheatley. The Potato bounced off Wheatley and headed back towards Earth (or more specifically: your house). Wheatley suffered a similar fate and was thrown off course and into the space-core, who was until that point orbiting around Wheatley, and he was cast off toward Earth as well. Except he landed inside the congress building in the US, where he fueled politicians with terrible ideas.

This prompted the Internet Censorship bills.

And Space-bot is still in space.
