   In the long term, if we ever get to the moon could we manufacture fuel there   
   and ship it (relativelyy easily) by space tug to LEO. Ships wishing to   
   return to earth could then top up with fuel prior to a massive reto burn   
   enabling them to return earth at a much lower speed.   
      
   The orbital "gas station" (as you call them in the US) could also be used   
   for manned or unamanned planetary probes.
