宇宙和生命本身的起源自意识诞生以来一直是人类研究的中心。开发和使用这些技术来回答这些永恒而深刻的问题是NASA起源计划的使命。Lo和Ross（1997，2001）新发现的“行星际高速公路”（IPS）是一项重要且具有成本效益的技术，可以为起源的科学和技术目标做出贡献。IPS是一个巨大的隧道网络，提供整个太阳系的超低能量传输，由所有行星和卫星的拉格朗日点产生。IPS通过提供：任务使能轨迹，起源任务的人类服务，太阳系的新模型，探测系外行星的新技术，在生命发展中的重要作用，以及影响起源计划的其他科学和工程联系，为起源做出贡献。IPS是起源计划的关键技术。
The origin of the universe and of life itself have been central to human inquiries since the dawn of consciousness. To develop and use the technologies to answer these timeless and profound questions is the mission of NASA's Origins Program. The newly discovered "InterPlanetary Superhighway" (IPS) by Lo and Ross (1997, 2001) is a significant and cost-effective technology that can contribute to both Origins' science and technology goals. IPS is a vast network of tunnels providing ultra-low energy transport throughout the entire Solar System, generated by the Lagrangian points of all of the planets and satellites. IPS contributes to Origins by providing: mission-enabling trajectories, human servicing of Origins missions, a new model of the Solar System, new techniques for detecting exo-planets, an important role in the development of life, and other scientific and engineering connections that impact the Origins Program. IPS is a critical technology for the Origins Program.
