"In less than an hour we'll finish our sixth month out of Cape Kennedy. Six months in deep space. By our time, that is. According to Dr. Hasslein's theory of time in a vehicle traveling nearly the speed of light, the Earth has aged nearly 700 years since we left it, while we've aged hardly at all. It may be so. This much is probably true. The men who sent us on this journey are long since dead and gone."
This has 0% continuity with Brent's "rescue mission".
As stated/retconned in "Escape from the Planet of the Apes", Taylor's ship VISUALLY "disappeared" ("disintegrated") from reality when it entered into the Hasslein Curve, proving there was some new kind of space-time warp out there. That's why they launched Brent's ship as rescue in the very first place.
So it wasn't about the Hasslein's "Theory of Time" anymore, but something more complex and effective to explore.
And as stated in "Escape", Brent's ship "disintegrated" the same.
mmm... the only thing I recall from Escape is that it said both ships disintegrated? Anything further is just idle speculation unless you can give something concrete from the movie which actually goes beyond that in which case I'll stand corrected.
Even in Beneath Brent says they were following Taylor's last known trajectory and speculated they'd travelled hundreds of years into future. Which again doesn't make much sense in terms of a "rescue" mission - a) they knew they'd probably land up hundreds of years in future. b) if they were aware Taylor's ship had disintegrated, they went to rescue them by doing exactly the same thing and also being disintegrated. 😂
