While the ending was definitely nonsense, we have no real idea what happens when you get close to a black hole. We think we know, but we don't

The actual time of the start of the film was quite vague, but generally assumed to be around now?


I actually argued to my wife (a physicist turned designer) that since inside a back whole there's probably no space-time as we can observe it, we don't know what is there. But I highligy doubt that any tranzition would be non destructive. But, when one gets close to the black hole we have a pretty good ideea that gravitational forces would rip things apart (puling considerably stronger the closer a thing is to it, thus a ship that has any length would be pulled apart). 

Timeframe wise I would guess trouble to have started within the next one or two reusable, pilotable space shuttle itterations.
