    Just a theory of course.
    True but a logical one.

      When they crash land they are the planet they're on has three moons.
      Which is conveniently forgotten about by the ending.

        I thought it had no moons. Which is also forgotten by the end. Whatever happened to the moon, anyway? Is
        SPACE: 1999
        tied into this?

          The theory is that the moon has we know it was destroyed by an Alpha-Omega bomb.

            It's pieces scattered might create a "strange luminosity" during what would've been the full moon phase.

                What about the apes speaking English? That should have tipped him off.

                  Back then all aliens in the movies spoke English.

                        Also don't forget the landscape changed because of the war. No grass not wild life for many miles and the
                        humans
                        looked primitive. They could've been on any planet.
                        As of now, earth is the only planet with humans on it. He had absolutely
                        no
                        reason to believe he was absolutely
                        anywhere
                        else. There were also three species of apes, horses, and a cave full of artifacts that dated to around the time Taylor left. The funny thing about the horses is that the presence of horses is a regularly cited plot hole in Tim Burton's version because it doesn't take place on earth. Even if we accept the English language as a story-telling device, this is absurd. It would be easier to believe aliens built a replica of the statue of liberty by coincidence than everything else. This movie is seriously a product of it's time. If it were being made for the first time today, people would think it was ridiculous.

                            No only fanboys would think it was ridiculous. Most would get the point of the film and not let it go completely over their heads.

                              That's very true. And you know why? Because for some nutty reason Americans can't handle subtitles.

                                The astronauts knew it was Earth all along, but refused to admit it to themselves. When Taylor saw the Statue of Liberty he couldn't sustain his delusion any longer.

                                    Leave logic out of it and simply enjoy the movie for what it is.

                                      By your logic, why didn’t the audience believe in 1968 that it wasn’t Earth all along

                                        That's how sci-fi movies were. It wasn't a hard science fiction story. It was a sci-fi adventure.
                                        It would be like complaining that Thanos speaks English.
                                        So many stories, so little time.
