"near-zero-g"

Why would it be "zero-g" you're not in orbit?

You are moving from ground (1g) to geostationary orbit at zero. It will be a slow progression from one to the other (with a very slight lateral acceleration) but imho once below .5g anyone who is going to get air/sea/space sick wont see much difference.

Ah good point - I was just thinking about lower down.
