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.
There were two astronauts aboard each space capsule launched during NASA's Gemini space program.
The maximum height for astronauts flying on a space mission with NASA is typically around 250 miles (400 kilometers) above the Earth's surface. This is where the International Space Station (ISS) orbits and where most NASA missions take place.

The space shuttle lands in either Edwards airforce base in California or Kennedy Space center in Florida (near coconut beach). The hub and control center for NASA is in Houston, TX. Hence the comment on Apollo 13 "Houston, we have a problem"
The three main space programs are NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in the United States, Roscosmos in Russia, and ESA (European Space Agency) in Europe. These organizations are responsible for significant advancements in space exploration, research, and technology.

Yes. The most spectacular were the 3 astronauts that burned up in their capsule, and the 2 shuttle crashes. But lets not forget the simple car crashes, plane crashes, and simple falls.
