it is because according to newtons law A body continues to maintain its state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force.
so once the initial speed was acquired it kept going on with that speed

Since In the vacuum of space there is no air to cause air resistance and slow it down, it follows Newton's Law of Inertia and continues in the Vacuum of space, and Unless it Craches into another Object, it will continue to go on even after earth has been swallowed up by the sun!

What was the name of the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter?
It's Pioneer 10, launched in March 1972. Pioneer 10 first explored the asteroid belt, then moved on to Jupiter. After that, it explored other outer planets and eventually went outside of the solar system, thus becoming the first spacecraft to flay past Pluto.
What is the longest time ever spent in space?
Pioneer-10, launched in 1977, was the first spacecraft to escape the solar system, after flying by Jupiter. Both Voyager-1 and -2 continued out of the solar system after completing their observation missions. Voyager-1 overtook Pioneer-10 in 1998 to become the most distant human-made object in space. Signals from both spacecraft are still being received on earth, although NASA budget-cutbacks threaten to eliminate the monitoring programs.
