Yeah, the mood, lighting and background music indicated a positive vibe. That there was success. That Murph read the code and was able to re-calculate the formula successfully and that changed the course of Earth history.
Then there they were living in a kind of 'ring-world' kind of space station in orbit around Saturn. I did not catch any mention of what had become of Earth and its billions of people. But I presume Earth was abandoned and only the lucky few associated with NASA were able to migrate to the new off world stations. Which I take to mean that it was Plan B they went with.
Further, Coop found himself living in a constructed replica of his old Earth farmhouse. He did not spend too much time in that rocking chair. No, he confiscated a spacecraft and took off for the last known location of Dr. Brand (Hathaway). I did not see any optimism in that final scene. Only the act of a man who figured he did not belong on that space station with the descendents of his family.
So much misery.
