Более детально про решение посетить планету Миллер первой : (изивините за английский, лень переводить)
“Look,” he said. “Dr. Mann’s data looks promising, but we won’t get there for months. Edmunds’ is even further. Miller hasn’t sent much, but what she has sent is promising—water, organics.”
“You don’t find that every day,” Brand conceded.
“No, you do not,” Doyle agreed, his blue eyes flaring. “So think about the resources it would take to come back here…”
Yeah, Cooper granted. He’s got a point. In essence, getting from Miller’s planet to Mann’s would require climbing out of the deep gravitational well of Gargantua. It would be like swimming upstream, against the current. Which probably wouldn’t leave enough fuel for a return trip to Earth. If the choice was between getting back a little late and not getting back at all, he knew where he fell out.
“How far back from the planet would we have to stay to be out of the time shift?” Cooper asked. Romilly pointed to his whiteboard drawing of the massive black hole and the planet skimming just above its horizon.
“Just back from the cusp,” he said.
“So we track a wider orbit of Gargantua,” Cooper said. “Parallel with Miller’s planet but a little further out… Take a Ranger down, grab Miller and her samples, debrief, and analyze back here."
