Not necessarily, I'm accelerating and so Special Relativity isn't enough,
I've got to use General Relativity too; the fact that I'm moving fast
relative to earth makes things on the Earth seem to move more slowly, but
the fact that I'm accelerating makes them seem to move faster. So it
depends on how fast I'm moving and how fast I'm accelerating. If I'm
accelerating quickly or in a deep gravity well then things that are not
accelerating or in a gravity well will appear to me to be moving faster.
