You just push it in a straight line, and it continues until it either is caught, or hits a wall and is deflected. Things don't necessarily float out of your hands, but if ...

It is certainly possible that anything could malfunction on the spaceship. This risk is reduced by using extremely reliable parts, and then redundancy is built in to provide safe operation in case of failure. In general, the approach is to ...
... that the Universe would eventually collapse, if it had enough mass, and that the big bang might be a cycle. However, the discovery of dark energy seems to have made a collapse impossible. Therefore, there wouldn't be a second big bang.
