Click the button to get the date of the date field.
Minimum and Maximum DatesIt should be noted that the maximum Date is not of the same value as the maximum safe integer (Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is 9,007,199,254,740,991). Instead, it is defined in ECMA-262 that a maximum of ±100,000,000 (one hundred million) days relative to January 1, 1970 UTC (that is, April 20, 271821 BCE ~ September 13, 275760 CE) can be represented by the standard Date object (equivalent to ±8,640,000,000,000,000 milliseconds).
Note: Any date before June 27, 2105 is the same on the Axiom and Earth, as that is when the Axiom is launched. Any time before then is measured on Earth, as at this point, the Axiom hasn't left.
Enter a date in the date field. then choose whether it is read on the Axiom or on Earth.

WALL-E Movie ScriptWALL-E scene "2805 A.D." 1:59 and 2:31 show the Axiom, and ships like it, being launched in late morning, midday or afternoon. There isn't any specific time indicated when these ships launched, so we'll assume they launched at 12:00 PM. The video says the robot crews tend to guest needs “24 hours a day.” However, according to Youtube video "Captaining the Axiom", as well as the Axiom Pixar Fandom Page, the robot crews are said to tend to guest needs "25 hours a day".
Every year there was four quartly reports. In the year 2105, there is only one report. The time of year can't be deduced from this.
WALL-E was released June 27, 2008. Let's assume the Axium launced on that same date in 2105, June 27, at 12:00 PM.
The Axiom was in space for 700 years, returning to Earth in 2805. In fact, the Captain himself announces the 700th anniversary. During morning announcements (footage can be found here.), the Captain announces its day 255,642 on the Axiom, which, according to the Captain, is 700 years. He also shifts the clocks back 3 hours from 12:30 PM (when he woke up) to 9:30 AM.
255,642/700 = 365.202857143 days/year

| 365.2425 * 700 = 255669.75 Using the Gregorian calendar, 700 years is 255,669 3/4 days long. Difference = -27.75 days The Axium is 27 days and 18 hours (3/4 of a day) behind Earth. |
365.24217 * 700 = 255669.519 Using Earth’s tropical year, 700 years is 255,669 519/1000 days long. Difference = -27.519 days. The Axium is 27 days and 12.456 hours (24 * 519/1000) behind Earth’s calendar. 0.456 * 60 = 27.36 minutes 0.36 * 60 = 21.6 seconds Axium is behind 27 days, 12 hours, 27 minutes and 21.6 seconds. |
