Yes, if anyone were listening for such a dilated message. But didn't Cooper wake up way in the future? My apologies for not being an autistic savant, and not being able to remember every detail in the movie. (I think this was a Hollywood plot also. Us nerds are going to go see it several times, until we figure this out.)
24 hours on the planet equates to 164 Earth years. Now the questions are, how long does that guy's life support hold out, how much time transpired while Cooper was gone, and when does the sequel come out?
