The actual force of gravity will be not too different than it is on the surface.

After all, what's another ~100 km or so compared with the ~6400 km
radius of Earth as a whole?

The real trick is in the flight plan.  SpaceShip One is really just a small,
glorified Vomet Comet that goes far higher and so experiences
"weightlessness" much longer.
