On basis of figures, space journey is safest journey. In 50 years

The USSR lost at least one crew in space and possible more.

Just one, the Soyuz 11 crew, killed by decompression after retrofire but
before reentry.

It's not like they were real chatty about failures.

Not at the time, no, but much more detail has come out since. All the old
Cold War rumors of unreported deaths in space are now definitely known to
be false, the result of misunderstandings and malicious rumor-mongering.
