James McDivitt commanded some of NASA's earliest and most ambitious missions in space. He died "peacefully in his sleep surrounded by his family and friends in Tucson, Arizona," NASA says. He was selected for NASA's second astronaut class in 1962. He commanded the Gemini 4 mission in 1965 and Apollo 9 in 1969, two missions that helped pave the way for the first human lunar landing.
