As'salamu Alaikum dear brother Farhan,
Jazaka Allah Khayr for the good explanation, akhi. Your interpretation is certainly possible, and is certainly encompassed in the following broader explanation, which I will update the article tonight, insha'Allah:
1- The Noble Verse that brother Mclinkin94 raised is 55:37.
2- We actually have to look at the full context, which starts at Noble Verse 55:33. Here are Noble Verses 55:33-37:
55:33 يامعشر الجن والانس ان استطعتم ان تنفذوا من اقطار السماوات والارض فانفذوا لاتنفذون الا بسلطان
55:34 فباي الاء ربكما تكذبان
55:35 يرسل عليكما شواظ من نار ونحاس فلا تنتصران
55:36 فباي الاء ربكما تكذبان
55:37 فاذا انشقت السماء فكانت وردة كالدهان [055:033] O you jinns and humans, if you can penetrate the outer limits of the heavens and the earth, go ahead and penetrate.
You cannot penetrate without authorization mighty authority (سلطان sultan). (See also
Sheikh Yusuf Estes' explanation on this Noble Verse).
[055:034] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?
[055:035] You get bombarded with projectiles of fire and metal, and you cannot win.
[055:036] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?
[055:037] When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint.
It is clear in the context of these Noble Verses, that
(a)- Man could ascend up in space, once he has the "mighty authority" (Sultan) with him. This is further proven by the fact that Allah Almighty did speak about lack of Oxygen and Constriction of breathing as man ascends higher and higher into the Heavens:

(b)- If man tries to pass through the Heavens, he will bombarded with space rocks and metals.
(c)- Man could actually see already-disintegrated Heavens that resemble the shapes of roses. And this is true. Our advanced space telescopes have already shown us ample pictures of disintegrated systems that look like roses and are painted like roses:
"turns rose colored like paint". Visit:

(d)- By the way, the penetrating the Heavens may not also necessarily be physical. Allah Almighty could be here also be referring to the Space Telesscobes that we have that
capture Galaxies that are many many light years away from us. And indeed, when we established this penetration, what did we see?
1- We saw exploded star systems that resembled roses and looked like "
rose colored like paint":
Doomed Solar Systems:All of them look like
"rose colored like paint":
2- We also discovered the
complex Clusters, Cosmic Webs, Gama Rays Bursts, Dark Matter, Black Holes and so much more that the Universe has out there. Please visit:
