About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
In an age where commercial space travel is nearly a reality and with movies like Hollywood blockbuster Gravity setting records, humans are firmly set with our eyes on the skies. However, especially given recent launch failures, we are reminded of the danger of spaceflight. To date, 19 astronauts and cosmonauts have died during flight or flight training, most from the Cold War space race between the Soviet Union and United States. Despite these and other catastrophic space disasters, space development doesn't look as though it'll slow down anytime soon. On today's list, we revisit the worst space disasters in history!

You are forgetting Apollo 13
-
apollo 1 crew were killed by their seatbelts, they were made out of flamable nylon and were ordered removed but never supervised nor followed up on, when the fire broke out, the astronauts were fused to their seats
-
Just don't call your rocket Titan and you're good.
-
The Challenger thing happened on live TV.
-
How did you get George Lopez to narrate your video? cool
-
The Challenger and Columbia Disasters were ordered by Justin Bieber as preemptive measures to gain absolute control of our children!
-
It seems that Americans and Soviets (Russians) paid the high price of figuring out how to go into space safely and now everyone else is taking advantage of our sacrifices without even so much as a thank you.

I just started watching and think this is awesome
-
It says '25 Most Catastrophic SPACE Disasters in History' but some disasters were located within earth and not space so frankly the title is wrong. Maybe I misinterpreted it wrong but for a YouTube channel making videos of facts it has to be precisely accurate unless they absurdly got their information from publicly edited Wikipedia.

back when the one on number 1 exploded my mom told my dad over the phone (he wa soff on a training thing for the air force) and he thought she was joking until he got to a tv and turned it on. because of that disaster they refused to let another teacher on a shuttle for i think 20+ years.

What's the total damage? How many hundreds of thousands of trillions is the total of all these?!??!
-
Awesome Videos Juan Keep them coming & I'll keep sharing them
-

-
Good job nice video 😀
-
The comments are all about you Juan, maybe people in the internet aren't that bad after all huh? anyway isn't weird how we feel more depressed when an animal dies (a dog is the best example) rather than when a human does? (not that good at english btw)
-
I really like your videos, but just one thing that bothered me, that is when you listed a monkey dying one step ahead of 72 Russians dying on your list.
-
What about the total destruction zagon 5 when its star went super nova and engulfed everything within 5 light years. the zargon mining industry has never been the same again
-
