I think the sentence could be more clear in the article, perhaps something like:
> On the moon, however, where gravity pulls with about 15% as much force as on Earth, their suit would weigh the [earth] equivalent of about 25 pounds.
would be better.
You go on to make the mistake you were trying to correct:
> It would still weight 150 pounds on the moon
No, it would have a mass of 150 pounds everywhere.
> even for the uneducated
This is really uncalled for.

What I wanted to say is "someone without knowledge of such physics laws", and I apologize if I sounded rude in any way.
