Description
The top-left clip illustrates part of the same "glass" corridor from a different perspective.
The bottom-left clip illustrates Ionivka who is talking to Michette and to a Fine-Eyes mutant.
The right clip illustrates a distant view of the Interstellar spaceship.
Such design of a Bussard ramjet based spaceship could achieve a velocity of almost at half the speed of light, after a few tens of years of constant acceleration. It has to go through space zones that are known to be filled with enough hydrogen atoms (like what is around the Sun's Oort cloud since a few tens of thousands of years) and devoid of dust. These atoms are used as fuel for a proton-proton fusion reaction, then propelled, once fused, as helium atoms with much higher energy.
At its maximum speed (about half the light speed), such spaceship will not be able to maintain a measurable acceleration.
At some point before its final destination, that spaceship would have to be reconfigured in order to achieve a constant deceleration.
Even though, most of the sun's energy comes from proton-proton fusion; it is almost impossible to succeed in creating a proton-proton fusion reactor. Until now, no successful self-sustained fusion reactor of any type has been built by humans. Scientifically, it is possible, but it is almost impossible technologically.
