This really depends on what is meant by "SPACE". If the model is vacuum with no significant sources of force (gravity...) then newton is still right: continuity of the vector at time of observation. No force acting on object=>no accelleration=>no alteration of path therefore same path.
Theory states that event a most infinitesimally small object in mass travelling at an infinitesimally small velocity (direction and speed) will still travel in an ellipse defined by GM1M2/R2 where M1 is self mass at center of mass and M2 is the RELATIVE mass or all other objects in the Universe at that center of gravity. The ellipse is relational distance between the 2 centers of mass plus the R where the acceleration of the object and the gravity are in equilibrium.
The path of a projectile is called the trajectory.
A ballistic trajectory
It is parabolic in shape
curved
parabola.
A feather falling in a vacuum is not considered as a projectile motion. Gravity, which is absent in a vacuum, is one of the components of projectile motion.
The gravitation forces are what causes the path of a projectile to be curved.
Curved

The curved path is called a trajectory
The path of a projectile is it's trajectory.
The path of a projectile in earth gravity is that of a parabola.

A projectile doesn't follow a circular path. It follows a parabolic path. No part of a circle has the same shape as any part of a parabola. They're different curves.
it follows a curved path
projectile motion
it follows a curved path
That is often referred to as a trajectory.
