Well Bully for Elon Musk. That's a truly momentous achievement.
Linux has been going in to space for a while now. This article is from
2013 but it notes that RHEL/CentOS had already been used on the ISS before
that.

And this LJ article notes that the European Space Agency was already
planning to use Linux in 1999.

My memory told me this was so but it took a little digging to find a
reference.
The first ATV launched in 2008 but I suspect Linux got in to space earlier
than that in experiments.
