一 | 麦克迪维特于1929年6月10日出生在芝加哥。他毕业于密歇根州卡拉马祖中央高中，之后在密歇根大学获得航天工程学学士学位，并于1959年以全班第一名的成绩毕业。 COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A storm battered Britain, northern Germany and southern Scandinavia early Saturday, for a third day, with powerful winds, heavy rain and storm surges that caused floods, power outages, evacuations and disrupted flights, railway service and ferry lines.Since Thursday, at least four people have died in the storm, named Babet by the UK Meteorological Office. The latest victim was a 33-year-old woman who was killed when a tree fell on her car on the Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn on Friday afternoon, German news agency dpa reported. Three storm-related deaths were reported in England and Scotland on Thursday and Friday.Gale-force winds whipped up storm surges on the southern shores of the Baltic Sea, breaking through flood defenses in coastal areas in Denmark and northern Germany. In Flensburg, a German city just south of the border with Denmark, water levels rose more than 2 meters to the highest level recorded in a century, dpa said. Power was cut to flooded parts of the city for safety reasons.Ferry lines and railway service were temporarily suspended in affected areas in Germany, Denmark and southern Sweden. Copenhagen’s airport canceled 142 flights due to the storm on Friday but resumed operations on Saturday morning.People were evacuated from homes and campgrounds in severely hit areas in Denmark and dozens of people were without power. The municipality of Haderslev in southern Denmark decided to evacuate the entire coastline.“The situation on the coast is now so serious that it is too dangerous to stay there. All affected areas are evacuated and the emergency response is pulling out its crews,” the municipality said in a Facebook post late Friday. It wasn't immediately clear how many people were affected.The Danish Meteorological Institute warned of strong winds and elevated water levels throughout the weekend.In Scotland, as much as 4 inches (100 mm) of rain was forecast Saturday, and several towns remained under a red weather alert, the highest level, which means there is a danger to life.Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said parts of eastern and northern Scotland had already had a month and a half’s worth of rain during the storm, with more downpours coming that could “push those areas close towards two months of rain in the span of three days.”In the worst-hit town of Brechin, residents of more than 300 homes were told to leave before the River South Esk breached its banks Friday, surging almost 4 meters (13 feet) above its usual level and sending water pouring into the streets.The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency warned a second major river, the Don, could breach on Saturday. Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf said, “unfortunately, it is clear we have not seen the last of this storm.” The storm brought disruption across the U.K., with several main roads and rail lines shut by flooding. Leeds-Bradford Airport in northern England remained closed Saturday.。他于1951年加入空军并以准将军衔退役。
二 | 他在朝鲜战争期间驾驶F-80和F-86飞机执行了145次战斗任务。
三 | 他毕业于美国空军实验试飞员学校，并完成了美国空军航空航天研究飞行员课程，并在加利福尼亚州爱德华兹空军基地担任实验试飞员。在他的飞行员生涯中，他记录了超过5000个小时的飞行时间。1962年9月，麦克迪维特被美国宇航局选为宇航员，成为美国宇航局第二届宇航员的一员。1965年6月，他作为双子星座4号任务的指挥官首次飞入太空。麦克迪维特与空军飞行员Ed White一起参加了该计划迄今为止最雄心勃勃的飞行。在双子星座4号任务中，White将成为第一个在飞船外冒险进行正式舱外活动（EVA）的美国人，或者按照现在的说法，是太空行走。在接下来的几年里，这种技能使阿波罗探险家能够在月球上行走，美国宇航员和他们来自世界各地的伙伴能够建立国际空间站。
四 | 这次任务的四天时间几乎是NASA宇航员此前在太空中的时间的两倍，此前最长的美国太空飞行是戈登·库珀的34小时水星9号任务。麦克迪维特作为阿波罗9号的指挥官进行的第二次太空飞行对人类首次登陆月球起到了关键作用。这是全套阿波罗硬件的第一次飞行，也是登月舱的第一次飞行。这次任务于1969年3月3日从美国宇航局肯尼迪航天中心发射，指挥官麦克迪维特、指挥舱飞行员大卫·斯科特和登月舱飞行员拉塞尔-施魏克特。发射后，阿波罗9号进入地球轨道，机组人员对第一个载人登月舱（绰号"蜘蛛"）从头到尾进行了一次工程测试。
五 | 他们模拟了将在实际月球任务中进行的机动动作。在这次任务中，宇航员与指挥和服务舱以及登月舱一起执行了一系列的飞行任务。首要任务是月球舱与指挥和服务舱的交会对接。乘员组还对月球舱进行了配置，以支持麦克迪维特和施魏克特的太空行走。在第10个飞行日，即1969年3月13日，阿波罗9号太空舱重新进入地球大气层，并在大西洋上溅起水花，在波多黎各以北约341英里处，在回收船瓜达尔卡纳尔号的视野内。麦克迪维特在太空中停留了超过14天。阿波罗9号之后，他成为月球登陆行动的经理，并带领一个团队规划月球探测计划，重新设计航天器以完成这一任务。1969年8月，他成为阿波罗航天器计划的经理，指导该计划完成阿波罗12、13、14、15和16号。1972年6月，麦克迪维特从美国空军退役并离开NASA，担任Consumers Power 公司的执行副总裁，负责公司事务。1975年3月，他加入 Pullman,公司，担任执行副总裁和董事。
六 | 1975年10月，他成为 Pullman Standard 、轨道车部的总裁，后来还负责公司的租赁和工程建设领域。
七 | 1981年1月，他加入罗克韦尔国际公司，担任高级副总裁，负责政府业务，以及位于华盛顿特区的罗克韦尔国际公司。他获得的众多奖项包括两枚美国宇航局杰出服务奖章和美国宇航局特殊服务奖章。由于他在美国空军的服务，他还被授予两枚空军杰出服务奖章、四枚杰出飞行十字勋章、五枚航空奖章和美国空军宇航员之翼。麦克迪维特还获得了韩国颁发的Chong Moo奖章，美国空军系统司令部航空航天Primus奖，阿诺德航空协会 JFK奖杯，Sword of Loyola，以及密歇根金刚狼边疆者奖。
