Hitler ordered it built in order to be able to take the A bomb that they were developing to New York.

The Go-229 was designed as a fighter.

Hitler might have ordered a plane built to take the non-existant German A-bomb to New York, but it wasn't the Go-229.

What about the claim that the Nazis shot a man into space in 1945 using an A-10 two stage rocket? He splashed down in the sea of Japan. He was 84 in 2000 and said he was the first n space. There was talk that Hitler was trying for an A-Bomb and even tested one before the end of the war. Hitler spoke of such things but he was quite mad at the time.

You’re right, but there were further refinements on the drawing board. One of them was the 1000x1000x1000 tactical bomber: a 1000 kg. bombload, 1000 km tactical radius, 1000 kph top speed.
Others designs were strategic bombers designed to reach New York. The Germans actually flew some Me-264s within 200 miles of New York. However, the Germans never had the industrial capacity to pursue a real strategic bombing campaign. They were too busy fending off the Allied strategic bombers.
