it was the Apollo 1. Its command module was destroyed by fire during a test and training exercise on Jan. 27 1967 killing all three on board. Gus Grissom, Ed White and Rodger Chaffee.
Challenger exploded during launch; Columbiaexploded during re-entry.
The Challenger space shuttle exploded 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986.
Two space shuttles have exploded during missions. Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff in 1986, and Columbia disintegrated upon reentry in 2003.
There was no Apollo 111 mission that exploded. However, Apollo 1 was the first manned mission in the Apollo program, and it tragically ended in a fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967. The fire was caused by an electrical fault in the command module's wiring.

Two Apollo spaceships experienced catastrophic incidents resulting in loss of life: Apollo 1 on the launch pad in 1967 during a pre-launch test, and Apollo 13 in 1970 during its mission due to an oxygen tank explosion.
The amount of fuel a rocket burns during liftoff depends on the specific rocket and mission. On average, a rocket like the Falcon 9 may burn around 400,000 to 700,000 gallons of fuel during liftoff. The Saturn V rocket used for the Apollo missions burned approximately 20 tons of fuel per minute during liftoff.
During Apollo missions, astronauts experienced forces of up to 4–5 times Earth's gravity (4-5 G's) during launch and re-entry, while in a sitting position. At other times, such as in microgravity during orbit, they experienced weightlessness.
The Saturn 5 was used from Apollo 8 to Apollo 17, so there were ten Apollo missions with the Saturn .
The Apollo spacecraft that exploded on the launch pad was Apollo 1. The tragic accident occurred on January 27, 1967 during a pre-launch test. The crew members aboard, Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, lost their lives in the fire.
The Challenger exploded on January 28th of 1986 at 11:38 A.M.
Apollo 13 exploded on April 13, 1970.
