No, but the principle of gravity, which is what Sir Isaac Newton was describing when he said that, always applies. If something goes up with enough speed to not come back down, it has 'escape velocity'. Man could not achieve escape velocity during Newton's time, so the statement was true then. If an object does go up with escape velocity, it won't 'come down' but if that object goes near another body, such as the moon or another planet, the gravitational force will still act upon it.

No, for example if a balloon has helium in it, it starts floating away..
It won't go to space or anything like that, but there's always wind and it can stay afloat up there somewhere and not come down..

My age has been going up for over 30 years and it has yet to come down. I don't think it ever will.

If something has enough velocity to escape the Earths gravity then it will not come back down.

Unless you're in space yeah. Even when you toss a bird in the air it lands eventually.
