Since there is little or no gravity in space, how can a person in a ship be 
subject to G force? Say a human was in a spaceship in space and was pulling 
a high g maneuver; wouldn't he float in one spot rather than get crushed up 
against his chair?
How many G's can a typical human withstand before blacking out? Before 
death results?
Thanks.
