Wiki:
The Soviet/Russian program has had two fatal missions for a total of four in-flight fatalities. One (Soyuz 1, 1967) due to parachute failure during landing (there were other problems, but this was the fatal failure), and the other (Soyuz 11, 1971) when a valve stuck open during separation of the descent module during reentry (see below for details). Of all fatal spaceflights by any country (as of 2006), only the crew of Soyuz 11 actually died in space.
In addition, the Soviet program suffered 2 mission-ending launch aborts that were potentially fatal."I predict your ignore will rival Ben's" - Ecofarm

Their moonshot blew up on the launch pad iirc. I doubt anyone could have survived it.Long time member @ Apolyton

IIRC, seven of their cosmonauts died in the 60s before they decided to scrub their program.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

The first space flight victims were Germans. The last have been Americans.
The very last will be Indians. From the on only Lancusts will follow.Comment

and early sailing ships coming across the Atlantic had a high failure rate as well. Frontiers are always dangerous and man will always push forward into them."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment

Still, with a major flaw known and going ahead with it anyway

He did set sail when everyone knew Earth was/is much larger than he was assuming.
If it wasn't for the Americas he'd be dead now.Comment

More like knowing his keel could crack under certain conditions that are possible yet unlikely.Originally posted by chegitz guevara

In the Nedelin and Plesetsk disasters alone at least 140 people died. Are you joking?
