Nice oxymoronic headline, either way. And also, kilograms are a measure of mass, not weight.
True, but does that matter to anyone who is not an astronaut?

Science students get that particular fact about kilograms hammered into their heads. The metric unit of weight (force) is the Newton; the imperial/English unit of mass is the slug, which is 32.17 lbs on the Earth’s surface.
