Endurance

"We must confront the reality of interstellar travel."

The Endurance is the interplanetary spacecraft built by NASA as part of Project Endurance. It is the ship that carries Cooper, Amelia, Doyle, Romilly, CASE, and TARS on their voyage through the wormhole to a system ten-billion light-years from Earth, near the black hole Gargantua, located in a distant galaxy. The primary goal of the Endurance is to find, rescue, and resupply the few marooned scientists of the previous Lazarus missions in addition to establishing a permanent colony on a suitable planet that could sustain human life.

The Endurance is the product of a much-earlier NASA project to produce a viable, long-range, high-efficiency, interplanetary spaceship. It was designed to be self-sustaining for several decades, enabling it to prolong crew life for a protracted mission period. After the arrival of the blight, mankind no longer could afford such excesses as space exploration, and NASA was moved into the underground NORAD facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado. They continued their work in secret for the next several years. The facility's underground launch systems - originally meant for nuclear weapons - were perfect for conducting a secret space program, aimed at saving mankind. Thus, work on Project Endurance continued in secrecy.

The ship was slowly constructed piece-by-piece in orbit around the Earth, using old, expendable boosters from Project Saturn and the Space Launch System. The latest advancements in aerospace and space exploration - such as the Ranger shuttle - were incorporated into it. With the reduced capacity of NASA, the ship took years to complete.

With the discovery of the wormhole in orbit around Saturn, the design was repurposed for an unprecedented interstellar expedition. The goal of this expedition was two-fold:

     1. Travel through the wormhole and locate any of the twelve astronauts of Project Lazarus via radio beacon and evaluate their locations as potential sites for an off-world base.

     2. Establish a base on the most likely candidate world capable of supporting human life, utilizing one of two plans:

          PLAN A: If a candidate is found while the Endurance still possesses sufficient fuel and resources to journey back through the wormhole to Earth, establish a small operating base on the planet and return to Earth to mount a worldwide colonization effort. By the time they return, NASA scientists were certain to have worked out the gravitational equations necessary to make such an effort possible. In addition, it was expected that the Earth's population would dwindle to a mere fraction of its current size, leaving fewer people to evacuate the planet. If the ship cannot return: 
       
          PLAN B: Use the full resources of Endurance to establish a permanent colony. Using the 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.

The chosen crew included Dr. 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. With the reappearance of Joseph Cooper, the astronaut who was part of the original Ranger test flights, the mission found its pilot. After boarding the Endurance and getting her ready for the journey, the crew would hibernate in hypersleep pods for the two-year stretch out to Saturn where the wormhole was discovered. The ship conducted a sling-shot burn around Mars to pick up speed for the trip.

Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, Mackenzie Foy, John Lithgow and Michael Caine, the film features a crew of astronauts who travel through a wormhole in search of a new home for humanity. Brothers Christopher and Jonathan Nolan wrote the film, merging a script Jonathan developed in 2007 with Christopher's ideas. Christopher Nolan produced the film with his wife, Emma Thomas, and Lynda Obst.

Theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, whose work inspired the film, acted as scientific consultant and executive producer. As of December 15, 2014, Interstellar has grossed $167,275,624 in the United States and Canada and $455,000,000 in other territories for a worldwide total of $622,275,624. The film had a worldwide opening of $132.6 million which is the tenth largest opening of 2014. It reached a milestone of $200 million in 6 days, $300 million in 10 days, $400 million in 17 days $500 million in 24 days and $600 million in 37 days and is currently the 8th highest-grossing film of 2014 worldwide. The film concluded its run on IMAX theaters on December 14, 2014 and grossed over $100 million worldwide from IMAX ticket sales, making it the fourth film to do so afterAvatar ($228 million), The Dark Knight Rises ($102.4 million) and Gravity ($100.1 million).
