The Shuttle requires a minimum of four crew members to operate safely and there have been as many as eight. I haven't looked this up but a typical crew is probably about 6.
Normally, the station has a crew of 6 people, or 3 in between crew rotations. The most people that have ever been aboard the ISS was 10, when the 7-man crew of STS-119 (Space Shuttle Discovery) was docked with the ISS, which had a crew of 3 aboard. Now that the huge Space Shuttle is discontinued, a maximum crew size of 6-8 aboard the ISS is more realistic.
The shuttle exploded 73 seconds after liftoff.
The Hyphonaleia Shuttle in 1997
There were 7 crew members on board of the space shuttle Challenger when it exploded. A few of the crew members were Michael J. Smith, Ellison Onizuka, and Christa McAuliffe.

The original idea for the space shuttle started in the 1930's when Eugen Sanger came up with the idea of a recyclable rocket plane that could carry a crew of people
The name of the first space shuttle that shuttled crew to and from their jobs in spaceis called Elicoll. After the first female shuttle commander Eileen Collins, a true hero in todays history.
they did not die i was fake
because only a small crew was needed
On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon reentering Earth's atmosphere, killing all seven crew members.
All space shuttle orbiters were designed to carry a crew of up to 7 with the exception of Enterprise which carried only 2 during flight tests.
7 crew died.
