Not true. From a Joystiq article:

Now that Rage: Mutant Bash TV has landed on the App Store, id Software's John Carmack is already talking about what's next for the developer on Apple's iOS platform: more Rage. Specifically, a game focusing on the driving aspect of Rage on consoles and PC (shown in the above screenshot).

"I think we have a really good idea of what we can do in this format, and I'm really excited about getting onto the next game, getting onto what we can do with another slice of Rage," Carmack told Joystiq today, going on to say: "Taking some of the wasteland material and having riding along in the dune buggies, jumping over ravines, that kind of stuff. There's more graphics stuff that we can bring in and add yet another level of improvement and polish to the visuals." If all goes as planned, the game will hit iOS before Rage arrives in stores.

With regard to the definition of where space begins? No, that has absolutely nothing to do with what can be done there.

Yep: cost. There are a great deal of researchers waiting to get their instruments into the "ignorosphere" once the cost allows it.

Hmm, I guess Alan Shepard wasn't the first American in space after all (considering Freedom 7 had a suborbital trajectory, and had a max velocity of well below 7km/s).

Like my damn iPhone always wanting to correct "its" to "it's" even when the former is correct in the context. It sure is tempting me to just turn auto-correct off altogether.

No, no they don't. They retain the right to use it however they wish, but they do not own the copyright. Asking them would do you no good.
