An indestructible dome is claimed to be attached to the rim, making it a closed organisation.[two] [10] [xi] [12] [8] Sargent alleges all world governments have been lying about the shape of the planet, and that NASA faked the Apollo program as well as all other space exploration programs.[4] [ii]

An article in The New Yorker explained how Sargent's video serial was instrumental in converting people to his viewpoint. It reported that Darryle Marble, who would later on be a featured speaker at the first-e'er Flat Globe Briefing,[5]

...found the light in his YouTube sidebar.
