How useful for sending space probes to other planets?

Accessing the arches of chaos in the solar system for fast transport:

"In a new report now published on Science Advances, Nataša Todorović and a team of
researchers in Serbia and the U.S. revealed a notable and unexpected ornamental
structure of manifolds in the solar system. This architecture was connected in a series of
arches spreading from the asteroid belt to Uranus and beyond. The strongest manifolds
were found linked to Jupiter with profound control on small bodies across a wide and
previously unknown range of three-body energies. The orbits of these manifolds
encountered Jupiter on rapid time-scales to transform into collisional or escaping
trajectories to reach Neptune's distance merely within a decade. In this way, much like a
celestial highway, all planets generate similar manifolds across the solar system for fast
transport throughout."
