Couldn't you replicate this on earth by simply building a track around the circumference. If a pod attached to the track went fast enough that the centrifugal force equaled gravity. Maybe this would work.

For low orbit in space you need to go 28,000km/h so to do it on the surface its probably only 2 or 3 times faster
