What losses has NASA suffered?
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "losses". In terms of people and spacecraft, there have been three fatal accidents; the ramp fire of Apollo 1 that killed 3 astronauts, and the losses of the space shuttles Challenger and Discovery. There have also been several aircraft accidents that have killed members of the Astronaut Corps. In terms of prestige and influence, NASA has gone from being technically adept to also-rans. Their last four rocket programs have all been economic failures, and NASA is widely criticized for being a make-work jobs program designed to keep Apollo-era engineers employed until retirement instead of being a SPACE program devoted to trying new and innovative things.
Has a spacecraft ever been to Jupiter?
