What could be the possible near term(present to 2050) uses of the earth-moon, earth-sun lagrange points? Perhaps as midway stations, fuel dumps or research stations. Plant a large structure in one and you won't have to bother with it except with some stationkeeping at some points. I know sun-earth L1 is being used as placement for several solar obeservatories right now.
In fact, instead of burning the ISS up when its service life ends, just strap a large booster to boost it to a lagrange point and let it sit there. I realize this is probably not probable due to political and tech(cost) reasons but its a nice though than destruction.
