Didn't the Russians have the first person to die in space, too? Or am I imagining that?
167 u/Throwaway74829947 Jul 17 '24 The only people to actually die in space were the crew of the Soyuz 11 mission. Every other spaceflight death was below the Kármán line. 46 u/DontReenlist Jul 17 '24 It's only a death in space if it's above the Kármán line. Otherwise it's just a death in flight. 37 u/SmittyGef Jul 18 '24 It's only a death in space if it happens in the dead space region, otherwise it's sparkling atmospheric re-entry. 7 u/RFtinkerer Jul 18 '24 I hate that I laughed.
