With heavy hearts, we mourn the recent passing of Korean War veteran, former test pilot, aeronautical engineer, and @NASA astronaut Jim McDivitt. McDivitt was selected to be part of Astronaut Group 2 and went on to command Gemini IV in 1965 and Apollo 9 in 1969. Rest in peace 🫡 pic.twitter.com/PRvTShrnwy
