Interstellar is a movie about the human race being faced with a
civilization ending blight. A small group of brave individuals explore
possible new habitable worlds for humans. The following questions
will help guide you through the movie and hopefully get you
thinking about the future.
1. The Cooper family hijacks a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle).
What do you know about UAVs and how they are used today?
2. While at the parent-teacher conference, Murphy’s teacher
mentions that the Apollo program -- the same program that
landed humans on the Moon -- was just propaganda to
convince the Soviet Union to bankrupt themselves trying to do
the same. The reason for this was to encourage children to
take care of their own planet, rather than wasting precious
resources day dreaming of leaving it. Which side of the fence
would you sit on? Would you look for ways to save Earth and
our ability to stay there, or would you look to the sky, and find
a new planet to live on? Why?
3. A) What natural disaster(s) is Earth suffering from in the beginning of Interstellar?
B) If one of these happened now what actions would you take to protect yourself?
4. Cooper, Doyle, Romilly, and Dr. Brand (female) rendezvous with the Endurance in orbit around Earth. Once
onboard, they begin to spin the Endurance. Why? (Think about the physics happening here!) Draw a diagram.
5. Why or why isn’t space exploration important for the people in the movie interstellar? Why or why isn’t
space exploration important in today’s society? Defend your answers.
6. Explain time dilation as best as you can.
7. A) Estimate how long Dr. Mann went without human contact while on the ice planet:
The Lazarus mission was __________ years ago. It takes _______ years to get to Saturn from Earth. Cooper
and Dr. Brand were on Miller’s planet for approximately __________ years. This means the total time Dr.
Mann went without human contact is: ___________ years.
B) Consider the longest time away from human contact you've experienced. What did you do to keep yourself
occupied?

What is an unmanned aerial vehicle?
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is also referred to as a drone and it can be defined as an aircraft that is designed and developed to be piloted or controlled by a remote control (ground-based controller) and on-board computer systems.
This ultimately implies that, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a class of aircrafts that can fly without any human pilot, cabin crew, or passengers on board.
In conclusion, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) carries no human pilot and are typically used for a variety of purposes such as:
- Monitoring and surveillance.
- Remote sensing
- Photography
- Disaster response
