Wow

ikr.

It's hard to believe Nolan would let something like that happen.

He must be slippin.

From my angle, a more sensible timeline would be:

1. Cooper leaves the tesseract and arrives in the vicinity of Saturn.
2. After the Rangers pick Cooper up, word is sent back to wherever Murph happens to be in cryosleep.
3. Upon hearing the news of Cooper's return, fellow astronauts wake Murph up from her two-year nap.
4. With medical assistance, Murph travels to Cooper Station, which—from her location—is a few-weeks' journey.

Ergo, no movie mistake.

Ergo, Nolan is still God.

That still has no awnser to how murphy knows about brand marooned on the canyon planet

Maybe because time flows differently for Cooper, Brand and people on Earth. Cooper goes in the black hole and Brand doesn't so it might have affected flow of time for them.

While Cooper is in Tesseract, Brand arrives on Edmund's planet, sends signal to Earth/Space station and sometime later Cooper is rescued.

Lmao as if they'd write that line w/o reasoning. Most obvious is that Cooper tells them about Brand when they asked him what happened. Then they told Murphy what happened to him on her way over. She would want to know everything that happened. Cmon ppl.

Why would Murph just "happen" to be in cryosleep though, if not for a lengthy space journey? I think the two years part is important, because that's the length of the journey from Earth to Saturn (or in the future, an Earth-orbiting space station to a Saturn-orbiting space station). Earlier in the movie, TARS states the trajectory of the Endurance is 8 months to Mars, which they slingshot around to Saturn, taking another 14 months. So that's 22 months, and the nurse says "She's been in cryosleep for almost two years"

Murph only made the journey once word got to her about Cooper ("She is far too old to be transferred from another station, but when she heard that you'd been found...")

There are more than one ship. She's on another ship that is about two weeks away in distance from Cooper Station. She was asleep for 2 years from the trip from Earth to Saturn and was woken up when he was found. She was then told what happened.

case may be have been able to transmit like the giving thumbs up from Edmunds just reactivated, leding them to believe the are ok there.

Maybe this is why Nolan got no nom
