Same with the Lagrange points, and the InterPlanetary Superhighways that interweave the Solar system, connecting them all in a web that would allow us to Hubble-ize our future probes and routinely return them to Earth-Moon L-1 for repair, servicing and upgrade for practically no fuel cost before sending them back out on station.

Destinations besides Moon and Mars would include the Earth-Moon and Earth-Sun Lagrange points, near-Earth objects (NEOs) and the moons of Mars.
-
Fuel depots, ship outfitting and material processing in halo orbits around Earth-Moon L1 places it at the top of our gravity well with easy access to everywhere.
