Challenger and Columbia shuttles killed 14 astronauts but they were not destined for the Moon. The Space Shuttle only ever orbits the Earth. 3 Apollo 1 astronauts were killed on the launch pad when their cabin caught fire after a spark ignited the oxygen atmosphere they were breathing. No Apollo astronauts were killed after this disaster. Apollo 13 on it's way to the Moon came close but they managed to get all three home.

What are the astronauts' achievements?

The early Soyuz and Mercury astronauts found out that man could survive in space. That meant eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom, and even manipulating the spacecraft in space. Astronauts on both sides of the Space Race found out in the mid 1960s that man could work outside the spacecraft with proper restraints. Gemini astronauts performed the first rendezvous and docking in space, an important milestone in reaching the moon. The Apollo astronauts achieved the first manned flight to the moon, showing that man can survive a trip through the Van Allen Belt. Apollo 11 showed man could land on the moon and return safely to the earth. Astronauts on Soviet space stations, Mir, Skylab, and the Space Shuttle showed that man can survive in space for months at a time. They also built the International Space Station, and continue making advances in all scientific areas.

How many astronauts have died on the moon?

None! Of seven manned Apollo missions to the Moon, using 21 astronauts all together, six missions were successful. Twelve astronauts successfully landed on the Moon, explored it, and returned to earth. Apollo 13 was our greatest successful failure, in that it did not complete its mission but did return its three astronauts. This is all easily researched at www.nasa.gov. I hope this question is from someone very, very young, because it betrays a complete lack of understanding of history.
