Related with rocket lunches? Yes, zero.
One man has died because of the parachute failure (during landing). Yet 3 other also died in the capsule during the landing because of the demagnetization. That's all. Nobody has died in the Russian (soviet) rocket like it was with Challenger. I know about only two incidents (including the today's one). In both cases the cosmonauts were catapulted and survived.
We lost 4 cosmonauts (including 3 at once) and all of them during the landing. Nobody was killed during the start of the rocket.
BTW what's about the Canadian stats? How many rockets with people you have launched into the outer space?
