We can manufacture rocket fuel on Mars. The low gravity may provide unique industrial opportunities and the weak gravity well allows Mars or the moon to be a great staging point for further exploration.
Mars would benefit greatly from increasing CO2 in the atmosphere so eventually we can move the majority of carbon-heavy manufacturing there and make it a terraforming benefit rather than a problem.
