> In the Apollo program lots of people died for the cause, as they felt that it's worth the risk. Lots looks to be 4 or 5 depending on how you count. 3 were killed due to a fire in the pure O2 atmosphere during testing of Apollo 1. 1 was killed while working with a high pressure water line on ground support equipment. 1 to be lunar module pilot was killed flying a fighter jet trainer between Cape Kennedy and Houston. Not to take away from their sacrifices, and not to play down the amount that we've become more cautious, but I think it's an exaggeration to say that lots of people died.
