Can we agree to disagree on how to describe materiel sent to space? That's way too much for the astronauts to lift with their muscle atrophy. Luckily there are two guys hanging around looking for work, so they can help. Weight is relevant in one location, and not the other. Volume or quantity are consistent both on Earth and at the ISS. How about 20 cubic meters, or 100 cases, or "equivalent to sending your child to college in a fully-packed Subaru Outback."
