Unlike many of his fellow astronauts, James McDivitt didn’t yearn to fly from childhood. He was just good at it.
In his first flight in 1965, McDivitt reported seeing “something out there’’ about the shape of a beer can flying outside his Gemini spaceship. People called it a UFO and McDivitt would later joke that he became “a world-renowned UFO expert.” Years later he figured it was just a reflection of bolts in the window.
A spacecraft named DART crashed into an asteroid Monday to learn how to divert potentially deadly celestial bodies.
