Hopefully someone can answer a qustion that came up regarding a shuttle flight which took place a while back... Apparently the crew brought several toys and misc. articles with them to see how they worked in low gravity. What happened with the "Slinky" ? How was it affected ? etc...

I saw the film of the "slinky" in action. Its coils compressed along its length in an oscillating fashion. Peter Jarvis, Physio-Control
