This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the center of mass of a body either remains at rest, or moves at a constant speed in a straight line.
I don't have a magic box in front of me that can tell me the meaning of any word though.

Yes, of course anything in space that is not being slowed by atmospheric drag would continue moving forever, due to Newton's First Law:

Objects moving through space do continue to move at the same velocity, but no energy is being taken from them.
