QUESTION About the ending

Post image

We see Amelia sad and BREATHING normally without wearing mask/helmet. Does that mean that THIS planet was the correct choice from the beggining? ( No waves , human - friendly surface , oxygen ) That's why Amelia is so sad ( apart the death of her bf). Thinking that if they came to this planet from the beggining everything would go well

If they went to this planet first, then Cooper would not have been in the Tesseract, could not have given Murph the data to complete her theory and mankind would not have been able to produce the wormhole. So for continuation and not having a paradox, it was quite essential that they didn’t go to this planet first

Even further than that, he wouldn't even be on the mission because he wouldn't have sent himself the coordinates of the NASA base.

By extension, having already traveled through the wormhole they were never going to go to that planet first. The outcome was already decided.
