Mass changes how time passes near it, versus how it passes far from it. Test objects are still seen to speed up as they fall towards massive objects. Light suffers "Shapiro time delay" when its path includes travelling through space that is near a massive body. So I guess the full answer requires you to tell us who is deciding what is slowing down, and how / where you are measuring relative to.

Why do objects in space continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed?
Because there is no air in space, there is no friction to slow said object down.
Electromagnetic waves slow down or change direction?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the acceleration of an electric charge. Electromagnetic waves have the same speed in a vacuum (or space). They can slow down and change direction.
Why does an electromagnetic wave in space never slow down?
In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.
What are some things that can speed up or slow down cell division?
resistance is use to slow down and amplify can use for speed up the cell division
Does alcohol slow down or speed up the brain?
no
The more ------ an object has the harder it is to slow it down speed it up or turn it?
mass
Will a space shuttle speed up or slow down when it fires its engines when facing backwards?
If it is facing in the opposite direction of travel it will slow down.
Why does the space shuttle have high speed in the atmosphere?
The shuttle uses the atmosphere to slow itself down from orbital speed.
Why does time speed up in space?
It dosent unless you are traveling the speed of light it slow's down. The sun going down isnt time.
Why do Slow down and slow up mean the same?
I think you mean slow down and speed up. slow down =slow, speed up=fast
How does mass of an object affect the braking force when the object moves at constant speed?
Isaac Newton's Theories say that for every force going one way, there is one going the opposite direction. So for example you were travelling forwards through space at a speed of 500 MPH, then if you threw an object forwards (in front of you) you would slow down slightly. Mass affects this because the more mass that the object you throw has, the more you will slow down. Calum, 12

Does time slow down in space?
Time is relative to the speed of the observer and the faster an observer travels at the slower time will appear for him. So time slows down with speed not with distance.
Does the PNS slow down or speed up HR?
slow down
Electromagnetic waves slow down or change direction?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the acceleration of an electric charge. Electromagnetic waves have the same speed in a vacuum (or space). They can slow down and change direction.
What happens if a large mass is dropped into something moving at constant speed?
The object that is moving at a constant speed will slow down. Its new velocity will be determined by the original constant speed along with the new combined mass of the moving object and the additional "large mass."
What is the speed of satellite?
A satellite has to maintain 1800miles/hr. around the Earth. If its speed were to speed up the satellite would fly off in to space. If the satellites speed were to slow down it would come crashing into Earth.
