Memento on the Moon

The Moomagatta is very heavy. And being the strongest astronaut around, I knew, for Earth's sake, I had to be ready. Not a month later on the powdery surface I touched down. The Moomagatta and me bounded downward in a spring-like pace Memories of moving a piano downstairs back on Earth flashed across my mind. Contrarily the Moomagatta had mass but no weight out here in space. Like a massive cardboard box it was cumbersome, nix the physical grind. Now to stake the Moomagatta in at the target location... Peeking at my lunar map showed me 50 feet away from the designated spot. Once there I raised the Moomagatta above my head with zero deliberation. It was then the Moomagatta turned to me and said, "this is not the Mariot!"
