here's the fucking math to settle this
Through the most recent mission, STS-130 in February 2010, the shuttle has taken 788 people to orbit. Fourteen astronauts lost their lives on Challenger and Columbia.
That's one shuttle fatality for every 56 people taken to orbit.
Soyuz has orbited 250 people, not including two successful aborts: Soyuz 18a in April 1975, which occurred late in a launch 90 miles high, and Soyuz T-10-1 in September 1983, on the launch pad. The program has suffered four fatalities: one on Soyuz 1 in April 1967, and the other three on Soyuz 11 in June 1971.
That’s one Soyuz fatality for every 63 people delivered to orbit.
that's not enough margin to use to attack Americans, ruski.
