Oh yeah, scientific inaccuracies.
I'm sure you know a hell of a lot more than this guy and how it's been seen as the most scientifically accurate film set in space since 2001: Neil deGrasse Tyson
But yeah, I'm sure you've got as great of a knowledge about space as this guy does and how scientifically inaccurate it is.
Sorry but after following Tyson on twitter the last couple of yeasrs... I'm not sure he's playing with a full deck.
Sorry but I thought there were too many plot inconsistencies and "head scratchers". And yeah shithead... I know a few things about orbital mechanics.
Nolan should not have veered so far away from Kip Thorne's book... the physicist that did all of the calcs behind the science of the movie.
Another take on the movie from a physicist...
ETA...
Here's an article featuring Tyson where he kind of points out many of the movie's flaws, but was OK with some of them for story telling purposes... which I am as well, but just be consistent with it.

Yeah, more so than the head of astrophysics at the Museum of Natural History. He said they got right on point where you start entering 0-G, but I guess you know more about orbital mechanics than he does.

Who gives a frick? I'm not going to deny that Nolan bent some of the rules to his liking, but that liking lead to the better story. If raw science fricks up the story that he's trying to tell, then try make it as close to scientifically accurate as that plot point will allow, and then just break it. He didn't however pole-vault over any rules of science and at least everything in that movie has some scientific grounds.
Gravity didn't even fricking try, since if the debris was traveling that fast, it would have easily escaped orbit, and that doesn't include everything else. Putting Interstellar and Gravity in the same conversation in scientific accuracy is laughable at best.
