How many have the Americans crashed???.

Almost a tie.



1967 - Soviet. Soyuz 1. Failed parachute deployment. 1 fatality.
1967 - American. X-15 Flight 191. Control failure. 1 fatality.
1969 - Soviet. Soyuz 5. Crash-landed in Ural mountains. No fatalities.
1971 - Soviet. Soyuz 11. Depressurization. 3 fatalities. Craft soft-landed, so technically not a "crash."
1975 - Soviet. Soyuz 18. Launch failure after rockets failed to separate. No fatalities.
1976 - Soviet. Soyuz 23. Punched through frozen lake. No fatalities.
1986 - American. Space Shuttle Challenger. Explosion. Enough of the craft survived to crash into the ocean. 7 fatalities.
2003 - American. Space Shuttle Columbia. Explosion. Debris scattered across several states. 7 fatalities.
2008 - Soyuz TMA-11. Crash-landed. No fatalities.

Was that the payload that was ejected or the nose section breaking off?

That is what I was wondering........Hmmmmmm

Russia is still in space...
The Americans are unfortunately falling behind.....

With the Americans fighting the Wars and putting themselves
in so much debt....of coarse it has pushed the Russians, Chinese,
forward.......

That video was a perfect metaphor for my sex life in high school. Starts off well but then crashes and blows up in the middle part.
