There were two fatal all-hands accidents in the US Space shuttle program, the Challenger and the Columbia. Rumors have it a number of Soviet shots ended in fatal accidents or cosmonauts literally dead and adrift- in outer space. These have never been confirmed by the Russians. apart from the two space shuttle accidents, there were no in-flight underway fatal accidents in the entire US Space program- the Apollo lol flash fire occured ON THE GROUND testing an oxygen life-support system that tragically, caught fire.
