Why doesn't a rocket in space need to use an engine to keep moving in space?
Because there is no friction in space to slow the rocket down. Once the rocket is at its cruising speed, the engine can be switched off. Of course, that means that you have to use a different engine (pointing forwards) to slow down and stop the rocket since friction won't do it for you.
