Best Answer

Defining 'crash' as having hit a land or water surface without being made/allowed to by the pilots, none. Most nonreusable spacecraft were designed to deploy parachutes to slow the rate of descent, and then either drop into the ocean or land on solid ground. The few that have failed only catastrophically exploded while still on the ground or midair, so all that got to the surface was debris, not the vehicle as a whole.
