Our beloved astronauts felt nothing as they were incinerated in less than a couple of seconds. The answer to your question is 'No'.
Wrong! They were alive and probably fully aware until the crew capsule impacted the water. They died of injuries from that collision. Sorry to burst your bubble with nasty facts, but I read the report on the findings when it came out.

The Challenger astronauts survived for approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds after the shuttle broke apart in mid-air on January 28, 1986. The crew did not survive the impact with the ocean.
The percentage of astronauts that die per year is extremely low. Out of over 500 people who have flown to space, around 3-4% have died during a mission (Challenger and Columbia disasters), giving an average annual astronaut fatality rate of less than 1%. Astronauts undergo intense training and missions are carefully planned to minimize risks.
Seven. The max crew is eight.
