How many space shuttles exploded in atmosphere?
Technically Challenger was the only shuttle to explode in the atmosphere during takeoff. It was caused by a leaky O ring in the Solid Rocket Boosters. Columbia broke up during reentry and therefore was not an explosion. It was caused by damaged heat Tiles that allowed heated gases to weaken the wing. Once the wing became weakened it gave way and caused the shuttle to tumble and at the speeds and heat involved in reentry the pieces burned up as it broke apart.

It's not really the fact of whether it's 'hard' or 'soft'. Venus has a very toxic atmosphere, anything that enters it is usually burned by the chemicals. (thus why we couldn't get a shuttle to land).
