Why does America have an American-centric view on space exploration? Out of the top 3 space exploring nations on the planet (United States, China, and Russia, which do you think would have the capacity to keep pushing if a world famine kicked in. Russia exists on a perpetual plain of near self-collapse, and China would implode if something like that happened and exports/imports became an issue, as their entire economy is based on the support of outside countries.
You'll notice no one is driving new vehicles in the movie. They're all from our current decade, meaning production stopped around the time the blight started. Look back at the Great Depression and you'll see that clothing was kept a lot longer back then because things were so scarce. People learned to sew and hem to keep things looking new.
Everything in the movie (apart from a few things here and there) was pretty inline with how I'd imagine a world on the brink to be.

As for the last question you are asking, the short answer is. once you can create habitats such as the ones around Saturn, you don't need a 'home planet'. Basically, if we could create such stations, you could, theoretically, move the entire population of Earth to them. with a lot to spare. Not sure why you'd put them in orbit around Saturn (aside from the magic black hole, as you wouldn't need to do that and it would be easier to put them closer to Earth's orbit, but the potential for vast populations inherent in this tech is staggering. You could house trillions in such habitats, if you had the tech and drive to do it. certainly the few billion from Earth in the movie wouldn't be that overwhelming a challenge, assuming the rocket and space engineering tech implied.

If we can build o'neal cylinders we may build a dyson swarm that has loads of real astate, but in order to populate them ( and save humanity) we need to have better launch technologies ( and i think that was the thing murph found). Most of that swarm out to be in orbit around the sun at approx 1 au but i guess they but some near the worm hole watching for activity. Murph wasn't on that when copper got home she transferred there, The station seems like a museum. For going insterstellar it's not really needed at that point it is in a couple of billions years however.

What caused the blight: A genetically modified seed created ends up having disastrous consequences for the future. A mutation in a crop seed could deplete the soil of nutrients and be contagious. It will spread rapidly creating a genetic resistance to pesticides. Impossible to contain, all suitable land for growing crops on the planet will become futile and barren with a decade. Or not?

Yeah ya know Ive always thought how did they drink beer when there was no wheat? Maybe its a corn beer? And why did his son want to name his son Coop his name would be Coop Cooper? Also, how many people were taken in the spaceships? All of humanity?

Didnt they also mention that they nuked the countries severely affected by famine
Also: the blight is already beginning to happen. Cocoa plants are projected to go extinct by 2050, as theyre wilting already in Africa

I don't go to the cinema much but when this came out I went to see it, so i glad i saw it in the cinema. I want Nolan to do Interstellar 2. Well not really but I like the idea.

I pity those who have seen this in IMAX, coz I'm not, and when the home media released, goddamn IMAX is everything, just imagine watching it in real IMAX film theatre.

I didn't really get all of it the first time through--still don't, but I know I liked it from the first watch. It's, if nothing else, a really interesting movie.
