The answer actually becomes, depending on how long you want to accelerate. Because its already going faster than 9.8m/s^2 the instant it leaves the ground.

Oh take me now and ravish me, Wardogg.
Only because you don't realize what you are saying. You are saying that in order for a rocket to attain an acceleration of 10m/s^2, it would only have to produce an acceleration of 0.2m/s^2. Since it is already going 9.8m/s^2 sitting on the ground.
He asked how much fuel it would take to accelerate continuously faster than 9.8m/s^2. If thats your argument then Im changing mine.
It doesnt have to to climb 3000 miles straight up. Right?

Part one, thats what he said not me. Well I kind of did at first but then i thought about it more.
Part two, why?

Can you not jump faster than the earth is accelerating?
Can you not shoot a bullet into the air and have it climb almost 1 mile before its stops and the earth starts to come up to meet it?
Cannot an aircraft climb in the vertical and still accelerate?
What magical barrier would prevent a rocket with the right thrust to weight ratio from climbing to 3000 miles straight up?
Explain to me how you are posting on the internet if satelites dont exist.
Ok Engy your simple "no" to the bullet one is confusing. What happens when I shoot a bullet straight up in the air?

objectively good
And if the force of gravity in RET is exactly the same as the force applied by an accelerating flat earth why wouldnt the fuel required be exactly the same between the two?
Light and all other forms of wave energy travel at a constant speed in a consistant direction and are only affected by the presence of gravity... if satelites do not exist, then what is up there relaying or at least reflecting those signals???
Just as the earth is trying to catch up to you, you have to catch the sun and moon accelerating away from you at 9.8m/s^2, so to get 3000 miles above the accelerating earth, you have to travel rather farther than 3000 miles.
also tell me, an object travelling at 9.9m/s straight upwards still falls back to earth.without the presence of gravity and if the earth only moves a 9.8 m/s, it is impossible for it to fall back to earth... yet it does.
Where did you educate the biology, in toulet?
Depends on your FoR.
