The commander of the NASA mission that first took a slinky into space was Captain John W. Young. He was the commander of the Gemini 10 mission in July 1966, where the slinky was used to demonstrate the effects of microgravity. The mission aimed to conduct various experiments and was notable for its contributions to space exploration.
NASA took a slinky into space on mission STS-51-F, also known as Space Shuttle Challenger mission in 1985. The slinky was used to demonstrate principles of microgravity in space.
