You're still holding to this??
Psa 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.
Not surprising. Von Braun became very religious. He helped design rockets that went through the firmament and reached space. Yet you're completely making up a story that you think that Von Braun believed that the "firmament" is an unpenetrable barrier around the earth. His entire LIFE, practice, thoughts, words and public documentation completely dispel this idiotic notion.
it "still" extols the glories of God's creation.
