Was Apollo blessed?

During Project Apollo, six highly complex manned craft landed on the Moon, took off and returned to Earth using a relatively low level of technology. An 86% success rate.

After that:

The Space Shuttle, so far, has killed fourteen people, merely trying to attain an orbit about two hundred fifty miles above the Earth – only a small part from an Apollo mission.

Twenty-five simple, unmanned craft with increasingly higher levels of technology have attempted to fulfil their missions to Mars. Only seven succeeded.
A mere 28% success rate.

Was Apollo blessed?

RE: Was Apollo blessed?

Was Apollo blessed? I don't think so, I also don't believe we landed on the Moon and returned only using relatively low level of technology. We might have more technology now but that does not mean we used a low level of technology to land on the Moon.

And as for death rates in space I can't really see what you are getting at. I think it's about 439 people have been in space and 22 have died, 14 of them being on the 'Columbia' and 'Challenger'. I think overall the death rate is 5% not a huge amount considering they are firing themselves out into space, not really the safest of places. I can think of a lot more dangerous jobs!! Check this site out it's interesting,

The 25 simple un-manned space crafts that have gone to Mars only having a 28% success rate that does not surprise me at all. It's not as if Mars is around the corner :)

Sorry for the sarcasm, don't mean to offend anyone.

Well, but let considering lost of astronaut lives just a few years before Apollo 11-16, between 1964-1967 totally 10 astronauts lost their lives in accidents, i.e. 15% of NASA’s astronaut cord at the time, and then, thanks God, without any, for 6 successful missions, between 1969-1972.

It really was blessed?

Or at least too strange.

Well we all have our opinions I suppose and you are entitled to believe what you want to believe!
