He's also under as close to constant acceleration as you can get. A lot of the stuff you talk about on earth is changing accelerations which your body can feel.

If you take off in a car and acceleration is kept constant, you are much less impacted by the change in velocity. Add in no real friction and pressure and you got weightlessness.

In space, if you jet yourself one way for just a moment, you will just keep accelerating with nothing to cause friction to slow you down, but you don't feel it at all.

Think about how a boat moves across the water at slow speeds, but you have water and air that will eventually slow it down.
