interstellar was on FX last night... Got a little complaint/plot hole so spoiler if you haven't seen it.
So the 4 astronauts go though the worm hole and wind up on the other side of the galaxy or whatever, and the decide to explore the planet nearest the black hole first, as a result of this planet proxcimity to the black hole 1 hour planet side = about 7 to 8 years our time. So they put the ship in orbit just outside this time dilatation. and send down a landing party of 3 leaving one guy in the mother ship. things don't go to plan and they wind up spending about an hour maybe two planet side and when they get back they find out 27 years have past...
My problem?
Why didn't the retard they left behind move the ship in a closer orbit so as to minimalize the time distortion??? Say an hour goes by, and they thin an hour =7 years and they plan less than an hour total mission time, but never the less an hour goes by... so why not move the ship closer at that point? I mean after 27 years one must think there is no return, the mission is over ect, so again why not make your time better match the away team's time so you are not spending decades while the rest are spending minutes?
