Guess who reserved their seat on the first Moon flight? My mum, that's who

Not to mention that regardless of how much the "neatness" of "stationary" Lagrange points might appeal to the human brain, I don't really see the fundamental difference (for, say, construction purposes) compared to the nearest Earth orbit with rare enough atmosphere to not require boosting during the lifetime of your project. Unless the capability to depart either towards the Earth or the Moon with minimal energy requirements (or staying immobile in the Earth-Moon frame) is somehow really important to you, Lagrange points don't do all that much...
