i'm not a physics prof, but i thought that if an object in motion was not encountering any contrary action, then the motion would continue as it is. including a state of acceleration.

Accelleration cannot occur in the absence of an outside force. The absence of resistance is not sufficient to create accelleration and would, in fact, violate Newton's 2nd law (inertia: objects at rest/motion tend to stay that way- motion being constant velocity in this case).
