I wonder how Alan Shepard, a guy whose military, test pilot and astronaut is of the highest achievement, would feel about his name being associated with Bezos's vanity project?
I guess Bezos, Musk and Branson wouldn't have a place at the table if NASA got its act together.
This was anticipated in 1875:
My grandfather's clock was too tall for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
But it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn on the day that he was born

But it stopped, short, never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering

I am working on my sailboat motor attachment and am using some 5/16β carriage bolts in the end of the transom so the heads are flush. The material will be something called Starboard, which is a marine HDPE plastic. It will be two 3/4β sheets put together. I am wondering how much material I need to make sure the square part of the bolts catch in the material? Should I just drill 5/16β or go 3/8β? The square part is .32β * .32β so the long diagonal of the square is .45β.
