I'm quite used to this industry vs #opensource debate. For at least 20 years I've used #forth, #yorick, and #perlpdl for programming, and #Linux as my #operatingsystem.

In so doing, I've found open source to generally be of high quality and flexible for simple to complex #computer solutions.

Until recently, partly from being retired, I've had no interest in #socialmedia. Had I been aware of #Mastodon, likely I'd have started there in the first place.

I never directly worked on spacecraft, but did work on missiles and airplanes, guidance specifically. That was before I retired some years ago.
I used several #opensource packages. #Yorick, #perlpdl, #scilab, #octave, #R, #gnuplot, to name a few. Management permitting, if I was working specifically on spacecraft, I'd likely use the same tools.
