In Interstellar, how did solving gravity grant humanity the ability to build self-sustaining space stations that can grow its own food and oxygen? Wasn't Earth running low on resources?

>solving gravity
like what does that even mean
>>
Probably to harness gravity so they can get massive things to orbit e.g. a giant centrifuge

It meant they could put massive structures in space, as well as enormous supply ships.

Pretty much the concept from the Mass Effect games.

but they had barely enough resources at the start of the movie for Cooper's mission. If they can't even build spaceships for rescue missions, how in the hell can they build a space station big enough to sustain itself?
>>
Wait, if they could the harness gravity why did they still need a big-ass centrifuge for a habitat?
>>

if they can truly control gravity then they can pull faraway resources in space to them and start over. the earth is still fucked but that gives them what they need to get off the planet.

The whole movie was the dream of the pilot of the plane in TDKR.

>cost to put things into space is made tiny
>mining asteroids is easy as hell now
>chances are that non complicated minerals like iron still arent depleted, so that means that simple constructions do not need rare minerals to be put into space
>mining might have been made more easy as now you can just pull ore with gravity instead needing to drill, meaning that you can get into previously unaccesable areas of ore

Just at the top of my head.

You fucking retard, the fact that they "were running out of resources" doesn't mean that they had no resources at all.
Its the same as with the hypothetical end of fossil fuels. Sure 99% of the population won't have gas, but it doesn't mean the govt/elite won't have access to it.
Scarcity doesn't mean resources don't exist.
