I loved this quote from the article:

Historically, NASA has not used OSS for mission-critical development,
although there have been isolated incidents of its use. For the Mars
mission, administrators decided that open source systems had reached a
sufficient level of maturity.
</quote>

...so they went ahead and used MySQL, Linux, CVS and (yes!!!) Emacs
for the development.  Some of the Java tools also sound like FLOSS to
me.

Rest online...
