In total, a little over one dozen astronauts died on shuttle flights (14). No astronauts died during Gemini or Mercury. Three died in a test on Apollo 1. The shuttle failure rate was nowhere close to 1/10. In fact, it was 1/67 (2 failures out of 134 flights).

>They’ve killed dozens during the shuttle program

Columbia and Challenger crew totaled 14, who else are you referring to?

Oh 14 totally acceptable

135 missions, 2 fatal accidents, that’s not 1/10.

It’s the American roulette
