![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the planet was deep within Gargantua's gravity well, meaning that the time dilation on the planet's surface was over 60,000:1 - one hour on or near the planet's surface equated to 7 years on Earth. ![]() All three signals indicated that their respective planets held promise, but Edmunds' homing beacon stopped transmitting three years prior to their arrival.ĭue to the Endurancit vector from the wormhole, the planet with the nearest and most energy efficient intercept course was Miller's planet. Mann, the leader of the Lazarus Missions. There, they received the cached data transmissions from three of the twelve Lazarus astronauts: Dr. The Endurance crossed through the wormhole, carrying its crew ten-billion light-years across space to the Gargantua system. The ship conducted a counter-orbital sling-shot burn around Mars to pick up additional speed. After boarding the Endurance, checking out all systems, and firing its engines, the crew would hibernate in hypersleep pods for the two-year journey to Saturn where the wormhole was discovered. With the reappearance of Joseph Cooper, who flown on the early Ranger test flights, the mission found its pilot. Brand, daughter of physicist John Brand, scientists Doyle and Romilly, and military surplus support robots TARS and CASE, the latter being left aboard the ship while it was in orbit. Using a gene bank of fertilized human eggs aboard the ship, begin developing and raising incipient humans upon the planet in order to prevent the extinction of mankind. PLAN B: In the event the gravity equation could not be solved, or solved too late, use the full resources of Endurance to establish a permanent colony.Solving the equation would enable mankind to harness gravity and evacuate every person off Earth. John Brand was confident to have solved the gravity equations by the time they return ("years" after launch). If the Endurance possesses sufficient fuel, return to Earth to join a worldwide colonization effort. PLAN A: Locate the most habitable planet and transmit findings to Earth.Establish a base on the most promising world capable of supporting human life, utilizing one of two plans:. ![]() Evaluate their research and select the best possible world.
