Finished in 1979, Interstate 5 was designed to be the world's largest parking lot, and from the get-go was an immediate success, offering spaces for millions of vehicles for cities and services stretching along the West Coast from Canada to Mexico.

One of the lot's biggest criticisms is the fact that it offers spaces that go through national forest land, the remote west side of the Central Valley, and over mountain passes despite lack of services and weather hazards, and as such these parts are very rarely used throughout the year. Wasted space is such a problem, in fact, that many people use it as a highway at speeds up to 70 MPH in these places in spite of its intended purpose. Uniquely for a parking lot, it also has problems with people trying to smuggle drugs and people in from both Canada and Mexico. Despite this, in urban areas it continues to be highly successful, and puts ordinary parking lots the world over to shame.

I left my car on Interstate 5 for two hours and hey, it was still there! There's also always construction, so, you know, the parking is always better and less bumpy! Maybe!

Interstellar

(1). If you came here for the Movie Interstellar you have two reason to die now.

Reason One: Searching Interstellar on Urban Dictionary

Reason Two: Not seeing Intertsellar

(2). An astronomical term meaning out side of our solar system, as to Stellar mean within our solar-system, and if you came here for the definition I still recommend you watch Intertslellar

EYE CANDY!!!

The Probe is now Interstellar and out side of our solar-system

Interstate

n. American amateur raceway. Frequently becomes a facilitator for natural selection. Unfortunately, Interstate "natural selections" often involve normal drivers who happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Syn: "Darwin's Little Helper"

Wow, those teens flipped that car while going 90 on the Interstate and weren't wearing seat belts. I guess they won't be breeding.

Interstellar Travel

Travel between star systems - which may someday be do-able but given that even our closest star is 4.6 light years away it is something that will require technology and resources that we can only dream of by today's standards.

It is also a very big subject in science fiction; the rapid transit between star systems by faster-than-light travel; Star Trek, Star Wars, and Mass Effect are examples.

While Voyager 1 is technically making interstellar travel, at the rate it is going, it will take more than 72,000 years from now to do so.
