Actually there have been. If they are going to include the Apollo 1 fire which was a rehearsal that was on the ground, then they should include other people who have been killed by space rockets. I have already mentioned that the Soviets had many fatalities from exploding rocket that was meant to take cosmonauts around the Moon. There have been a number of fatal accidents involving rocket equipment, etc. that are almost never included as space fatalities, but are still the result of the program. If we are to include just astronauts/cosmonauts killed on an actual space mission, then the list linked to is complete assuming there are no Soviet fatalities from completely covered-up missions. (And the Apollo 1 astronauts need to be removed from the list. And for heaven's sake the brain tumor guy needs to be removed as well.) |
