The first seven were the first seven American Men in Space flight- not a memorial or posthumous angle. There were No in-flight fatal accidents in the Mercury or Gemini programs, and only one ( killing three Astros= Grissom, White , and Chafee) in a ground test that caught fire-in the Apollo program. There were, to date two ( All hands) fatal accidents in the space shuttle program, involving the shuttles CHALLENGER and COLUMBIA. Mercury program was accident-free.
