I’m currently reading through The Expanse series (on Caliban’s war at the moment) and the always talk about the feeling of gravity as the ship moves at 1G. I understand that higher gravity forces make the feeling of an elephant on your chest but the say they can walk around the ship as if everything is normal while under 1G of thrust. Wouldn’t any forward momentum stick you the the opposite wall or is their engine at a weird angle?

Ships in *The Expanse* are built like skyscrapers with the engine on the bottom. This means that under thrust, you feel like gravity is pulling you towards the floor. For stations using spin gravity, the levels are arranged with “down” towards the outside of the station.
