Interstellar timeline outline
  • 2015: Present day
  • 2017: Wormhole was first identified "48 years ago."
  • 2030: Cooper is born, grows up during Food Riots and beginning of the collapse, no baseball games when he was growing up.
  • 2040s: TARS/CASE/KIPP built roughly used in wars, given to NASA as surplus equipment.
  • 2050: Tom is born.
  • 2055: Cooper is a test pilot for NASA, crash grounds him semi-permanently. Indian Air Force ceases to exist along with NASA, officially. NASA launches 4 secret missions through the wormhole, one system has three planets: a water world, ice planet and Edmunds' world. Murph is born.
  • Around April 15, 2065: "Present day" in the film's first hour. The world suffers the blight causing immense dust storms to wreak havoc. NASA facility inside former NORAD HQ in Colorado. Cooper rejoins NASA, boards Endurance, launched toward Saturn. Hypersleep for 2 years to Saturn. 
  • 2067: It is decided to land on the water world first, Romilly states that every hour there will be seven years to the outside world due to time dilation. Landing on the water world scrubbed due to mistake, Doyle lost. 
  • 2070s/2080s: Lois and Tom are married. Jesse is born and dies. Donald dies. "Coop" is born.
  • 2090: Cooper and Brand with CASE return to Endurance to find Romilly, who reports that 23 years had passed while they were down on the surface not 7 years or less. Murph is working with Dr. Brand at the NASA facility. Cooper catches up on a cache of 23 years worth of video messages. It is revealed to Murph that Dr. Brand had no intention of saving the world, it was impossible, Murph feels betrayed but retains her want to save the world. While attempting to repair KIPP, Romilly is killed in an explosion. Dr. Mann is killed in orbit of the ice planet and damages the Endurance trying to steal the ship and take it to Edmunds' Planet. Brand and Cooper slingshot around the blackhole Gargantua. TARS falls into the black hole to collect quantum data as well as Cooper who enters the Tessaract fifth dimensional space. 
  • 2090-2154: Getty and Murph become romantically involved. Murph solves gravity which allows the stations to be launched from Earth's surface and into orbit. Cooper Station and other stations are launched from Earth and placed in orbit of various planets in-system. The Endurance mission is listed missing, presumed lost. Gargantua system is deemed not viable for human habitation. Missions are launched to recover other surviving astronauts in other systems through the wormhole.
  • 2130s: Tom dies in his eighties, more than two decades prior to Cooper's return.
  • 2152: Murph enters hypersleep at a station orbiting Earth, exits hypersleep at a sister station orbiting Saturn, told that Cooper was back and arrives two weeks later.
  • 2154: Cooper/TARS are recovered by the Rangers floating near Saturn. Cooper awakens in a hospital bed on Cooper Station, an O'Neill cylinder in orbit of Saturn. An administrator remarks to Cooper that he looks pretty good for a man of 124. Cooper visits Murph and says his final goodbyes on her deathbed, she tells him to find Brand. Cooper/TARS steal one of the sleek new craft to Edmunds' Planet.
