Not for any obvious reason. But if you want them to, just give Martians a -4 racial ST, which allows them to lift about the same objects on Mars humans could lift on Earth, without changing their mass from human normal. Problem solved.

I really think you are trying to scale the wrong thing if you are trying to keep Martians at ST 10.
Not at all; it's no stranger than running a Borrowers or Lilliput campaign and noirming little people ST to 10. For a Barsoom-like campaign where Earthmen are supposed to be at an unrealistic advantage, it's perfect.
