According to Newton's 3rd Law (Every force has an equal and opposite reaction)

So once say for example the Space Shuttle gets into space it fires small bursts from it's thrusters for changes to course. To slow it does a forward thrust to stop it's speed. TO change direction it uses an unbalanced thrust from it's diffrent sides (hence the multiple nozzles on the back of the Space shuttle)

Allowing it to SLow, speed up, and change diraction.

The speed need to launch a spacecraftto outerspace?

The speed needed to launch a spacecraft into outer space depends on various factors such as the size of the spacecraft, the distance it needs to travel, and the gravitational pull of the Earth. Typically, spacecraft need to reach a speed of around 25,000 miles per hour (40,234 kilometers per hour) to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and enter into orbit or travel to other planets.

Why can a spacecraft travel forever in space?

A spacecraft can travel forever in space because there is no air resistance or friction to slow it down. Once a spacecraft achieves a certain speed, it will continue to travel at that speed unless acted upon by another force, such as gravity or propulsion systems.
