I think you mixed up m/s and km/s. The speed of light is 300,000,000 m/s, so 30,000 m/s is only .0001c. At 1g, it actually takes a month to reach .1c. (Still, your point stands.)

Thank you for the correction! 3 OOM off is...embarrassing.

So you'll be mortified to learn you were off by 4 OOM.

I would be, but I wasn't. Last I checked 1km = 1000m.
