8$\begingroup$ Do you include by natural causes? By "in training" do you include car wrecks, personal plane crashes, etc? Or do you mean only NASA related deaths? How about plane crashes while on business travel for NASA? After retirement? $\endgroup$– Organic MarbleCommented Feb 7, 2022 at 17:05

1$\begingroup$ related: Is the overall mortality rate for being in a spacecraft in space or bound for space about 4%? and time trends in astronaut fatality rates? and Where does space travel rank in per-passenger-mile safety? $\endgroup$– uhohCommented Feb 8, 2022 at 6:53

$\begingroup$ Also, how about non-NASA astronauts? Two of the STS-51L crew were payload specialists (McAuliffe and Jarvis), not part of NASA. $\endgroup$– GordonDCommented Apr 2, 2022 at 8:58
