Another way of wording campbel's answer would be that if you were in the rocket that he was talking about, but did not know it, you would be unable to tell whether or not you were on the Earth under normal circumstances or in the rocket accellerating at 1 g.
The two would be indistiguishable.

It means there is no difference between being on Earth or in a rocket far from Earth accelerating at 1G. In both cases you weigh the same and falling objects fall at the same speed.

Wouldn't be nice to build a spacecraft that can accelerate at 1G half way to Mars and decelerate at 1G until reaching Mars?
