As of March 2010, no Americans have died in space. Space is defined as 62 miles above sea level. Several astronauts have died in spaceflight-related disasters. In 1967, the 3-man crew of Apollo 1 died during a fire on the launchpad. In 1986, the 7-member crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger died during launch. Challenger was still far from reaching space. In 2003, the 7-member crew of the Space Shuttle Columbia died during re-entry. By the time the vehicle broke apart, the crew was below the 62 mile mark.
