There is a class of freeper I refer to a space kadets. They apparently have no knowledge of physics mathematics or thermodynamics, but they fervently believe in a future where space travel is commonplace, a future where humans colonize mars, moon colony will be economically feasible, and some of the fools even believe that we’ll be able to travel to the stars.

Ha!

Some comments herein deserve a reply :).

Fact: 1g (the earths' gravity), equates to accelerating at an ever increasing rate of 32 fps. Our bodies are fully capable to sustain this rate of acceleration for a lifetime.

1g for 1 minute > 1100 mph - the speed of earth's rotation.
1g for 1 hour > 67,000 mph - earth's speed around the sun.
1g for 1 day > 1,342,000 mph - earth's speed relative to the local group of galaxies ( 0.2% of the speed of light ).
1g for 1 year > speed of light ( 669,600,000 mph ).

Exceeding the speed of light, relatively speaking, may not be doable; covering a distance, faster than light from another frame of reference, is doable. Not only are we lacking in knowledge, worse, we're lacking imagination!

Thank you for confirming my thesis. The one about not understanding newton or thermodynamics (What mechanism do you propose to produce the 1 g acceleration. Here a miracle occurs?)
