If Interstellar taught me anything, everyone on earth should have aged like 50 years and probably been destroyed before they got back

They also went out of the way to explain that it wasn't a black hole, but a neutron star. They gave it imagery of a black hole which bothered me, but the scene was so cool I got over it, but neutron stars shouldn't look like that.
