Speaking of Mars space-suits...

...here's an interesting 'coincidence'.
Is it a coincidence?
Take the Apollo moonsuits [260 earth-pounds thereabouts],
and an astronaut [about 160 earth-pounds]
Together they would weigh about 420 Ibs on earth,
but only about 160 Ibs on Mars; the same as the earth-weight
of the astronaut.
