can the nasa space shuttle be run or operated using programs ?

Question

if the space shuttle had a built in cd rom drive and a hard drive and screen monitor would the pilot be able to do the majority of what needs to be done using less equipment on board? or would it be more convenient for nasa to downsize by just using a cd rom programmed to run the shuttle with the addition of a hard drive and monitor too?

Answer 1

The problem is troubleshooting, if a cd is running the deal, what happens when something goes wrong?
