one in the early days, one at the end. considering how many flights were made - 135!! - it's doing pretty good considering the inherent risks involved.
I'm not sure if I would necessarily classify a 1.5% failure rate on a crewed vehicle as "pretty good"...
show me another reusable orbiter that gets to 135 flights with only two failures and then we can talk.
crew dragon ain't anywhere near there. same with starship.
imho, you have outsized expectations, especially considering it's 1970s designed 1980 tech.
