Among the items issued to astronauts are Velcro-backed leather name tags that can be attached to their flight suits and jackets. This name tag is a spare for pilot astronaut John W. Young, who commanded the first Space Shuttle mission (STS-1, 1981) and the ninth (STS-9, 1983), both on Columbia. Young also flew on two Gemini and two Apollo missions in 1965, 1966, 1969, and 1972. Young went to the Moon twice and became the first person to fly in space six times. NASA transferred a number of spare astronaut name tags to the Museum over the years.
