I don't know if there's a particular spot that you'd want to be, but you can surely just launch something into an orbit higher than Earth and lower than Mars.

Some physicist explain me this shit. Is it due to the rotation/revolution of the two bodies? I don't even find the animation helpful. I got what wiki said about equal distance from L 4 and 5 to the two bodies but this stuff is straight Magnets to me.
