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.

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.
