What the heck, people?

Do you two know anything about gravity? If there is zero gravity, then it doesn't matter how much mass your suit has, its weight will be zero. You could weigh anything in space and it's weight would register as zero, even if its mass is colossal.

In space, astronauts manoeuvre using a gas-powered jetpack called an MMU, the propellant being nitrogen gas.

On the moon, they move around in the same way they do on Earth. The lower gravity (1.6 N/kg, as opposed to Earth's 9.8 N/kg) simply means that they are able to jump higher

There is 0 gravity. That is why space suits are so heavy, to weigh you down. Therefore you hop around!!

Astronauts walk around, but because there is 0 gravity and they have heavy space suits weighing them down, it looks as though they are jumping in a way.
