The crew intends to investigate three planets, each previously explored by NASA volunteers, who shared positive reports for habitability. The Endurance passes through the wormhole into another galaxy with a planetary system orbiting a supermassive black hole called Gargantua. The ship is headed towards a wormhole that mysteriously appeared near Saturn decades ago. He pilots a shuttle carrying scientists Romilly, Doyle, and Brand’s daughter Amelia to dock with the spacecraft Endurance. Cooper agrees, promising a distraught Murph that he will return. Brand claims to be working on a gravity equation to make this possible, and asks Cooper to pilot the mission. NASA's current, secret mission involves engineering a way for humans to escape the Earth while finding another habitable planet. He investigates, arriving at a secret NASA facility where Professor Brand explains that blight, dust storms and failing crops have rendered humanity incapable of surviving on Earth. He ignores his daughter, Murph, when she claims a ghost is communicating to her through her bookshelf, but later finds dust particles forming an inexplicable pattern on Murph's bedroom floor. In 2067, ex- NASA pilot Cooper is forced to work as a farmer due to a global famine caused by blight.
