Astronaut James McDivitt, Apollo 9 commander, dies at 93

James A. McDivitt, who commanded the Apollo 9 mission testing the first
complete set of equipment to go to the moon, has died. He was 93.

McDivitt was also the commander of 1965's Gemini 4 mission, where his best
friend and colleague Ed White made the first U.S. spacewalk. His photographs of
White during the spacewalk became iconic images.
....
McDivitt died Thursday in Tucson, Arizona, NASA said Monday.

[including next paragraph just for JD]

McDivitt didn't have money for college growing up in Kalamazoo,
Michigan. He worked for a year before going to junior college. When he
joined the Air Force at 20, soon after the Korean War broke out, he had
never been on an airplane. He was accepted for pilot training before he
had ever been off the ground.
