Why would a ball thrown in outer space continue to move in a straight line?

This is due to Newtons first law. Because their is no gravity the object will move in a straight line unless a outside force is applied to it. Such as the gravity of a near by planet/object.

If gravity did NOT affect the path of a horizontally thrown ball the ball would?
If the air is still, then the ball would move in a straight line, and come to a slow eventual stop due to friction with that air. If the air is moving, then the ball will slow down and eventually be moving around with the air, the amount of which would depend on the mass of the ball and the friction it has with the air. If it's in a perfect vacuum, then it will simply keep moving in a straight line at the speed that it was released at.
Why do planets not thrown off into the outer space?
because they have a gravitational pull
Will an object thrown in outer space eventually stop?
Not unless it bumps into something else that stops it.
What happens when outer space runs out of outer space to expand into?
In theory, it can't. Astronomers consider time and space to be different sides of the same function - they call it "timespace". As long as time continues, space will continue to expand.
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.
