The only factors that affect inertia in space is inertia itself. It is the same as it is on earth but without gravity or atmosphere influence.

inertia is affected by the mass of the object, along with other factors like wind resistance. Some of these factors would be minimized in outer space while others would be unaffected. I'm not educated enough to give you specifics but i assume that the inertia of an object would change but not go away. even though space is said to be a vacuum it in fact is not. there just isn't enough of an atmosphere to support our life. inertia can be seen in the comets that visit our solar system, along with the effects of solar wind and gravity. witness this yourself in 1) the movement of the comet through our system 2) the curvature of the comets path 3) the solar tail behind it.
An object in motion tend to remain in motion - unless - acted upon by an external force. when this force changes the motion of an object it will change the inertia of said object.

Any force appied to a mass will affect its inertia. Being "in space" (if you mean outer space) has the least affect on inertia. There is no friction there. Friction has an affect on inertia.

Mass is the measure of inertia (not weight)
In space -
weight=mg but g=0 in space.w=m
thus,there is inertia in space too

inertia is affected by mass. even in space, inertia is not zero, thats why even in space u need a certain amt of force to propel a stationary object along a path of movement.

the physics law that a body in space that is traveling at x mph. will stay at that speed and direction unless it is changed by other forces. if u Aree in space u ar trying to say that if it hit u it would not hurt,RONG
