Eventually we will have SOME people living on mars or the moon or wherever in space. Why waste fuel getting into orbit from these planets with low gravity?

A giant rail-gun-like rollercoaster that gently curves upwards. The combination of the right angle and the right velocity should be enough to fling you off the planet. I guess someone more mathematically inclined could do the actual math for me.
