There have been a number of crashes in NASA history. The two most tragic ones were the losses of the Space Shuttles Challenger and Columbia, because the crews of these spacecraft were killed.
No other NASA crashes have killed people in space. The Apollo 1 fire that killed astronauts Grissom, White and Chaffee occurred on the launch pad during a drill.
Other notable losses would include the losses of several Mars probes and the crash of the Stardust probe on Earth when its parachute didn't open properly during its landing.
