You just need to go around the world fast enough that it's always one time.

At the equator, Earth is nearly 25k miles around. So you need to travel around 1050 mph. The speed of sound is usually under 800 mph, so you'll be going a good bit faster than this. That is going to be one impressive fuel tank. Still that is a whole lot less than the 17k mph you need to get to the space station.

But near the poles, it's much more doable!
