Fasteners also add way too much weight which requires more rocket fuel to transport...:)

Bolt on, obviously. You know there's going to be a day when the asteroid is coming and they could save the day if only they had one more bolt!

And this is why the entire space station is constructed with dovetail joints and special space glue.

Neither bolt-on nor dovetail. Velcro, obviously. :)

Gotta be dovetail. If it was M & T, the steel in the bolts would upset the magnetic field, which is very delicate in zero gravity, and throw the ISS out of orbit.
