Overall weight is reduced yes

Specially in an rpg scenario where its all about a zero sum of your carry limit

Muscle strength stays the same

Same with mass

if the weight of everything on your person is reduced by gravity being reduced, you can lift something else easier

Yes

If you maintain same muscle mass

which you do

but itll probably fuck you up

in real life

because you suddenly have an abnormally light load

but it has the same volume

so the same drag

sure, but that doesn't mean you can lift say, a jumbo jet in deep space even though it technically weighs nothing

because it still has a lot of mass

Yeah you can only push on it but you wont feel much

I mean in space, any force applied will compound

you can lift it

itll just take a while

You'll move away more than the jet will

so right

and it also depends

inertia

no resistance, no drag, no other force

without drag force

means that there is nothing to reset your progress

so you can infinitely apply force to the plane

itll take a while

see, conservation of momentum means you would only be pushing yourself away, since the jet has a lot more mass than you

but you could carry it

if you push on it, you will fly back, but it will also start moving away eveeeeeer so slightly

^

exactly

@excursion12 (redha, richtginger) only if youre somehow floating in space

if you keep adding momentum to it, it'll eventually accumulate some decent speed

but consider this

how are you flying in space?

if you have jet pack that in and of itself is a force

but let's say you're on the ground of an asteroid with next to no gravity, and you attempt to lift the jet, good luck with that

Astronauts in the space station that get stuck floating in the middle of a room can just throw a pen to get enough momentum to reach a wall

you will lift up the jet
