Como apenas um sistema com 3 mundos é promissor, podemos inferir que os outros 9 astronautas estão mortos. Ou eles não conseguiram chegar aos seus mundos ou pousaram em mundos inabitáveis.
PROFESSOR BRAND
Twelve possible worlds. Twelve Ranger launches carrying the bravest humans ever to live, led by the remarkable Dr Mann.
DOYLE
Each person’s landing pod had life support for two years - but they could use hibernation to stretch that, making observations on organics over a decade or more. Their mission was to assess their world, and if it showed promise, send a signal, bed down for the long nap, and wait to be rescued.
COOPER
And if their world didn’t show promise?
DOYLE
Hence the bravery.
COOPER
Because you don’t have resources to visit all twelve.
DOYLE
No. Data transmission back through the wormhole is rudimentary, simple binary ’pings’ on an annual basis to give some clue as to which worlds have potential. One system shows promise.
COOPER
One? Kind of a long shot.
BRAND
One system with three potential worlds ... no long shot.
