Part 2/9:
The ship is captained by Ryan Clark, a charismatic yet unqualified British actor hired to play the role of captain. The real captain, Joe, is an introverted engineer who remains in the background while Clark takes the public-facing role. As the voyage begins, the ship is outfitted with advanced technological features designed for safety and luxury, including a radiation shield, ample supplies of oxygen, and water that can sustain the passengers for up to three years.
