• "Scrap unlucky 13th mission: Russian space chief ". Anatolii Perminov suggests renaming Soyuz TMA-13 to -14 out of superstition! Maybe he is joking! Though remember what happened to Apollo-13...

• Given the lack of any problem with Soyuz 13, Soyuz T-13, and Soyuz TM-13, I don't see any reason to rename TMA-13.

• I think in Korea is unlucky number 4. They skipped this number in Koreasat serie.
  
  Unlucky numbers depend on culture group, which uses this.

• The Arianespace V13 mission was a success.  The V15 mission failed.
  
  Atlas Centaur AC-13 was a success, as was its Surveyor 5 lunar lander.
  
  Delta 13 was successful.  It carried Explorer 14.  Don't ask what happened to Explorer 13.
