For a start, it is not possible to propel it indefinitely. Where should the energy come from?

On the other hand, there is a speed limit in the Universe, called the "speed of light". An object can approach the speed of light, but never quite reach it, much lass pass that speed.

Why does weaker force of gravity dominate over electrical forces for astronomical object?

It's true that gravity is comparatively weak. But it makes up for its weakness by extending its influence out infinitely far. The gravity weakens the farther you get from an object, but theoretically, you can continue to calculate the gravitational force no matter how far you are from the object you are considering.


What happens when a rocket stops pushing a person in space?

The momentum (given by the property of inertia) makes whatever was propelled by the rocket continue at the same velocity as before, until another force (like running into a planet) affects that object.

How does increasing the speed of an object change its momentums?

Increasing the speed of an object will increase its momentum as well (momentum=mass*velocity).

Can an object continue to move if there is no force on it in the direction in which its moving?

Yes. If no force acts on an object, it will continue moving indefinitely.
