Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. In space, where there is very little friction or air resistance, objects will continue moving in a straight line at a constant velocity once set in motion, exhibiting inertia. This is why spacecraft can maintain their trajectory once launched and do not require constant propulsion to keep moving.
