You are conveniently forgetting the (October 1960?) launch disaster that vaporized hundreds of souls...on the ground. ==

I didn't mention it because it wasn't in space.

By that logic, the US Space Program has never had a casualty. All our deaths happened on the launch pad or en route to or from space. Russia still has dead cosmonauts floating around up there.

Those three cosmonauts found dead in their landing capsule haven't died in space, too.

However, it's a Jesuit argument.

By the way, are you able to at least estimate how many Soviet disasters were kept secret, and still are?
