And why apply it to a horizontal yo-yo? Why don't we see the "anti-gravity" yo-yo on its more common position?
I think that not showing it would be a better way of keeping it hidden.
It's possible that those experiments were done without any extra expenditure, on the astronaut's free time.
I think that's possible. We are used to many things and we do not even think why or how they work, so seeing how things act in a low gravity environment is a good way of seeing how other, more difficult to test, things would behave.
What reversed engineered technology?
One thing we know they tried was tethered satellites, and they behave in a way that is not that far from the way a yo-yo that does not "sleep" acts (without going back).

Good point. After all, a yo-yo is much easier to test than...well, something a lot bigger that works like a yo-yo, like...um...gee, I can't think of anything that fits there.
I think it's easier to make the discovery than reverse-engineer something from a different civilization.
Well, this anti gravity tech had to come from somewhere, and, as you pointed out, anti grav isn't something we've seen on a regular basis. I think it quite possible that this technology was obtained from retrieved alien tech, as so many other, more common, things are claimed to be.

It also shows that some things that we take for granted cannot work without gravity or will work in a less than optimal way with a low gravity.
Things like cranes, for example, cannot work without gravity.

Have you ever reverse-engineered anything?

Some pretty reasonable theories have been brought up, but of course, until confirmed, they're just that, theories. Most, like magnets, air, and the like, have been denied by those involved. I believe, though, that this is just to protect themselves and their loved ones. If you deny everything, no-one can accuse you of making claims of any kind of advanced tech. They can just say "we never said that".
I can say, though, as far as the yo-yo shooting air out from itself, that I own a lot of yo-yos, including some Yo-Yo Factory ones, and none of them create enough of an air flow to levitate itself with.
The problem is that there are many ways of connecting the dots, but only one is the right one.

When you start to connect the dots, from Mr Matusow's "stringless" yo-yo, through the NASA tests, up to the levitating yo-yo video, I believe that the conclusions are obvious.
