The tesseract collapses and ejects Cooper and TARS, where they are rescued in 2156 and brought to an O'Neill cylinder colony around Saturn. Cooper reunites with Murph, now on her deathbed in her advanced age. She tells him not to wait for her to die and to seek out Brand instead. Cooper takes a spacecraft and sets off on another mission with TARS. Meanwhile, on the final candidate planet, Brand removes her helmet, breathing in the air of the new habitable world.
