The "Jesuits" do not say that the earth is "spinning 66k mph." "Modern" astronomy (where "modern" means the past 400 years or so so is a bit of a stretch of the term) says that the earth and everything on it, including you, is moving about 66k mph in orbit around the sun. Not feeling that motion does not require the sled launching system demonstrated here. Anytime you sit in any vehicle moving at a significant speed, that vehicle is moving at a speed which would kill you if it were to hit you, and yet you feel stationary in your seat because you are moving the same speed as the vehicle. Do you feel like you are moving >500 mph when you are on a jet plane?
Incidentally this "modern Jesuit" astronomy states that the spin of the earth causes 1k mph motion at the equator, but the speed caused by this spin is latitude dependent and is 0 at the north and south poles. To see why this is the case, just get any ball and spin it.
