Something like "Flying Dutchman"? :))

Focus, I do not understand?

No no, you misunderstood. M[0] and M0 (or Mo) are two completely different
things. M0 is the weight of the empty starship (without fuel) while M[0] is
the weight of the starship WITH all fuel. (M[T] is the weight of the ship
after it has burned all fuel and is thus equal to M0)
