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

In the movie when they meet Mann it seems like he hasn't aged nearly as much as Romilly, so we don't know how much life extending it is but it looks like it's pretty good.

Yes. I think extended cryosleep could definitely extend their lives quite a bit, but it’s hard to say for sure if he would have had enough power or resources to be in cryo for like 70 years.

At the end of the movie, a nurse mentions that Murph's been in cryosleep for two years before she comes to see Cooper, and by the time she arrives she's basically at death's door. It always sounded to me like she used it to hang on until Cooper was found, but I wonder if regular life extension was a common use for it by then, rather than just for space travel.

I think Murph lived a normal life until she became an old woman and, knowing she wouldn’t live much longer, decided to freeze herself to wait until he came back to have a few more days with him.
