The exact number of space rockets that have experienced catastrophic failures or explosions varies, but historically, there have been over 50 notable incidents since the dawn of spaceflight in the 1950s. This includes both launch failures and in-flight explosions. Some of the most well-known incidents include the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986 and the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. Overall, while space travel has become safer over the decades, it remains a complex and high-risk endeavor.
Both rockets and space shuttles have been used for space travel. Rockets are typically used to launch spacecraft into orbit, while space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that can carry astronauts and cargo to and from space. Many astronauts have traveled in both rockets and space shuttles over the years.
No shuttles have blown up in space. The Challenger disintegrated after launch on Jan 28, 1986 and the Columbia disintegrated during re-entry on Feb 1, 2003. Both were in the earth's atmosphere when they disintegrated.
Thousands of rockets have been launched into space since the dawn of space exploration, with the majority of them designed to either reach orbit and potentially remain in space or to complete specific missions, such as sending satellites or probes to other celestial bodies. Many of these rockets, particularly those used for one-time missions, do not return to Earth. However, exact numbers vary, as new launches occur frequently and some rockets may disintegrate upon re-entry or burn up in the atmosphere. Overall, a significant number of rockets have gone into space and not returned.

There have been two space shuttles that have blown up: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. Both tragedies resulted in the loss of all crew members aboard.
whats up
Planets,rockets,meteors,comets,and galexies. Many more things are in space I just can't answer them all.

Balloons. Rockets
The rocket that takes space shuttles into space recorded speeds f up to 40,000kmph. The space shuttles' rockets record up to 25,000kmph. There are also slower speed rockets.

Astronauts get in space by riding rockets that shoot them up and away from the Earth's gravitational pull.

Rockets, help us today because they can take us to space which is miles away from Earth. We don't use space shuttles today because they use up all their gas really quickly and it takes a long time to get to space by space shuttles so instead of space shuttles we have rockets that help us today to get to space.
