Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te rangatira o mua o te waka whakaari Star Trek Enterprise, ko William Shatner kua whakaarohia he tikanga whakahirahira hei whakaoti i te aitua o te waipuke o California. Kei te whakamahere ia ki te whakahaere i tetahi kaupapa Kickstarter me te tumanako ki te kohi $ 30 piriona (£ 20 piriona) ki te hanga i tetahi putorino mai i Seattle ki te kawe wai ki te kawanatanga. Engari ko te tono ki te hanga i tētahi putorino rau maero te roa kua kīia e ētahi tohunga he 'kore tino arorau'. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko te rangatira o mua o te Star Trek Enterprise pakiwaitara, ko William Shatner (i te whakaahua) i whakaatu i nga tono whakahirahira i roto i te uiui me Yahoo News. E hiahia ana ia ki te hanga i tētahi paipa whā-papa mai i Seattle ki raro ki California ki te kawe wai me te whakatau i te raruraru o te waipuke o te kāwanatanga. I whakakitea e ia te kaupapa whakangao tini i roto i te uiuinga ki a David Pogue mai i Yahoo News. I whakatauritea e Mr Shatner tana kaupapa ki tētahi paipa ōrite i Alaska - i tēnei take, ko te paipa e rere ana i Seattle ki California i raro i te huarahi I-5. Mai i te tau 2000, e whitu nga kawanatanga ki te hauauru o te US kua kite i o raatau waa maroke i roto i nga rautau: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah me Wyoming. Kua whakatūpato hoki ngā kaipūtaiao i California, tērā pea kei te pā mai te rohe ki tētahi'mākura nui' kotahi rau tau te roa. I puta mai ngā whakatūpato i muri i te whakaaturanga o ngā rangahau i ngā kōhatu kei te pā mai a California i te wā maroke rawa mai i te 1580, ā, ko te ua auau i kitea i te rau tau kua hipa, he mea pōturi noa iho i roto i te huringa o ngā maroke me ngā ua tino wā i roto i ngā tau 3,000 kua hipa. I te tau 2013, i iti ake te ua o California i nga tau katoa mai i tana hanganga hei kawanatanga i te tau 1850. A ko ngā tau e whā kua hipa ake nei i kite i ngā āhuatanga kino rawa atu, ā, kua kīia te āhua katoa o California kei te pā ki te waipuke. E ai ki nga korero, ka whakamahia te paipa hei whakakii i tetahi o nga roto e maroke tere ana i California. I kii ia ko Seattle "he waahi e nui ana te wai" - ahakoa ko tana kawanatanga, ko Washington, kei te raru ano i te maroke nui. Ma te kore e haere ki roto ki nga korero motuhake, ka tapiritia e Mr Shatner he...
I whakakitea e Mr Shatner tana tono hōhonu i roto i tētahi uiuinga ki Yahoo News. E hiahia ana ia ki te hanga i tētahi paipa whā whiti mai i Seattle ki raro ki California. Mā tēnei e kawe mai te wai hei āwhina ki te whakaiti i ētahi o ngā raruraru o te waipuke. Engari ko ētahi tohunga i kī i tana whakaaro $30 piriona he 'kore tino arorau'
