About "Planet of the Apes" (face slap!)

It was loosely based on the 1963 French novel
La Planète des Singes by Pierre Boulle.
"Planet of the Apes" is a 1968 American science fiction film
directed by Franklin J. Schaffner and stared Charlton Heston
and Roddy McDowall.
Interesting, 5 movies and a television series.

A wise acre just posted on the Heinlein FB group,

"I've wondered why, in the original Ape movie, Heston never
looked at the night sky and saw the moon. Surely that would
have tipped him off sooner."

--- Because movie makers can control and direct and
channel our thoughts? !

My favorite answer:

"The moon blasted out of orbit on September 13, 1999."

(The script writers basically ignored the issue by throwing in a
random line by one of the astronauts about there being no moon.
Otherwise, the big reveal at the end would have been s small bit of
trivia at hte beginning.)

I didn't (frankly, still don't) remember that. But.... did they provide
any explanation for there not being a moon any more? Or is the humorous
answer at the beginning of your post really all we've got?

They did not. That was the point.
