Telegrafen utforskade några av vetenskapen om Interstellar:
Miller’s planet is as close to the huge black hole Gargantua as it can be without getting sucked in.
[...]
The crew of Interstellar’s Endurance spaceship faced a headache when trying to get to Miller’s planet because it is trapped within the control of the huge black hole Gargantua.
To avoid being sucked into the black hole, the spaceship had to be travelling at high speed to escape the huge gravitational and centrifugal forces.
In Interstellar, Cooper gets round his speed dilemma by slingshotting around a the black hole.

However the speed needed to escape something as massive as Gargantua is huge. The Endurance would need to be travelling at close to the speed of light to escape the huge pull of the black hole, and then quickly slow down so it could land on the planet. The sudden change in momentum would almost certainly tear the ship apart.
Det finns en liknande fråga om Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange . Det blev stängt för att vara off-topic men det har ett svar om svarta hål i allmänhet.
Det finns en annan fråga om SF & F SE där svaret innehåller någon relevant information. Den hänvisar till information från Science of Interstellar av fysiker Kip Thorne (som var en konsult på filmen och co-skrev den ursprungliga manusbehandlingen ):
As for how they manage to navigate from one orbit to another, Thorne discusses this in chapter 7. Basically his answer is that although their rockets alone wouldn't be sufficient, they use gravitational slingshots past other massive objects in orbit around Gargantua, including smaller black holes and neutron stars.
Det finns ett långt utdrag som förklarar mycket av detta i detalj.
