Edmunds was killed by a rock slide that crushed his Lazarus pod and hypersleep chamber. CASE and Brand made the discovery that Dr. However, when attempting to dock to the Endurance, he was killed by airlock depressurization which also severely damaged the Endurance.ДЇinally, after using a powered gravitational slingshot around Gargantua, Brand successfully arrived on Edmunds planet where she began to establish a colonial infrastructure. But when learning that Romilly was killed by his trap and Brand was rescuing Cooper, he then decided to maroon the crew. He intended to gradually persuade the rest of the crew to colonize Edmunds' planet instead. Mann attempted to kill him and frame his death as an accident. After learning that Cooper wanted to use the Endurance to return to Earth, Dr. Mann and KIPP found only seemingly endless layers of frozen clouds. Mann had falsified the data, earlier claiming his planet a habitable surface when in reality it did not.

As the crew unloads supplies from the Endurance, it is revealed that Dr. His data was promising, showing drinkable water, organics, and breathable air on the planet's surface, yet has all the resources for human colonization. Mann, who begins to share his discoveries. Due to the time slippage caused by Gargantua's immense gravity field, Brand realized she probably died minutes prior to their arrival, unable to warn NASA of the dangerous waves.ДЄfter the decision is made to proceed to Dr. Upon arrival on Miller's planet, it was quickly discovered that Laura Miller's landing pod was destroyed by the immense waves caused by the tidal forces of Gargantua. It was the only promising system the Lazarus missions found for the Endurance to ensure humanity's survival. Mann, Laura Miller, and Wolf Edmunds that were in the Pantagruel/ Gargantua system. Of the twelve astronauts sent, three potentially habitable worlds were found by Dr. Doyle made it clear that 'bravery' fueled the Lazarus expedition members due to the unlikelihood of ever being rescued, thus many of the other planets of Mann's colleagues are presumed to be lost causes. When introduced to the mission, Joseph Cooper remarks that it would be impossible to rescue all twelve astronauts due to NASA's limited resources.

Their mission was to assess their world and send reports back to Earth via a binary pings on an annual basis, giving a clue of which planet would be suitable for human colonization. Each landing pod had sufficient life support for two years, but with hypersleep chambers, the astronauts could extend their observations over a decade or more.

Ten years prior to the Endurance mission, twelve Rangers, each carrying a landing pod, were sent through the wormhole, led by Dr. Mann witnesses an explosion from his Lazarus pod. It is unknown where the other systems are located.Дr. It is presumed that none of the astronauts that disembarked on the missions survived. There were twelve landing pods sent to twelve potentially habitable planets which could sustain human life. The Lazarus missions were launched by NASA, ten years prior to the Endurance's departure from Earth. Lazarus Missions logo in Conference room at NASA.
