Spaceship Titanic: What Actually Happened

An end-to-end SQL investigation into the anomaly.

โšก TL;DR

CryoSleep saved you โ€” 82% transported vs 33% awake.
Every "pattern" (planet, deck, spending, destination) traced back to CryoSleep adoption.
One exception: Starboard side had a 10% directional advantage, independent of CryoSleep.


๐Ÿงฉ Setup

Year 2912. Spaceship Titanic carrying 8,693 passengers hits a spacetime anomaly. Half the ship gets transported to another dimension. We have the manifest. Let's decode the pattern.

๐ŸงŠ CryoSleep Dominates Everything

CryoSleep Impact Chart

CryoSleep passengers were 2.5ร— more likely to be transported โ€” strongest variable in the data.

๐ŸŒ Europa's Advantage (or not)

Planet Transport Rates

Europa's 65% transport rate wasn't biological โ€” it came from higher CryoSleep usage.

CryoSleep by Planet

๐Ÿ›Œ Deck Differences

Deck Analysis

Deck B had a 73% transport rate, but Deck G (same CryoSleep rate) only 52%. Location mattered.

CryoSleep by Deck

๐Ÿ‘ถ Kids Had Higher Transport Rates

Age Demographics

Kids (0โ€“11) had a 70% transport rate โ€” likely prioritized for CryoSleep.

๐Ÿ’ธ Spending Didn't Matter

Spending Analysis

Spending = activity indicator. Awake passengers using amenities were most exposed.

โš–๏ธ The Starboard Mystery

Port vs Starboard

Starboard side: 10-point survival advantage. The only true independent signal.

๐Ÿช Destination Effects

Destination Transport Rates

Longer trips โ†’ more CryoSleep โ†’ higher transport rates. Distance reinforced the main effect.

๐Ÿง  What We Learned

๐Ÿงพ Bottom Line

If you were in CryoSleep, you vanished.
If you were awake in the spa, you stayed.
The rest were shadows of CryoSleep usage.
PS: The port side is still cursed.
