You wouldn’t want to build a flight computer with hard-wired (as in literal wires) software

We can use an FPGA for that

The software was the thing that was in the wires, not I/O.

The wires would be replaced by FLASH memory.

Wouldn't they use a MROM or something instead, because flash memory can be quite volatile in the extreme conditions?
