Answer:

Weight never changes & As they get closer to Mars their weight increases as they get closer.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the new astronauts were traveling to Mars from Earth the first thing you would notice is that their weights would change, this is because there is little gravity in space so you would watch them become lighter as they go farther into space. As for the second answer, if you were getting closer to mars your weight would be less than the regular weight you would have on Earth this is because of Mars gravity being smaller than the gravity on Earth.
