This would legitimately be the greatest prank anyone could ever possibly pull. It wouldn't even have to be 8 billion, just enough for everyone they could possibly interact with for a few days after landing. And they'd all have to really commit to the bit. I think this is the one thing that can truly unify us as a species.

It'd be even easier to do because astronauts usually have health checkups and quarantine after returning home. Most people would just need to wear hazmat suits.

Yeah, but would the apes do these checkups or would the astronauts try to find out what the fuck happened?

Clearly it would be apes in hazmat suits

Edit: but they’d have to play off that they were the first humans sent to space, and apes had been there for a long time
