The confusion arises because we use mass and weight here on earth to mean the same, however mass is not the same as weight.

If you stood on a scale here on earth and it reads 150 lbs, if you went into space and took the same scale with you and stood on them in space the reading would be zero ie. you are weightless but not mass-less you still have your mass.

True, but how do I get the scale to read only 150lbs. here on earth!
