The significance of the Space Station is examined with regard to the possibilities it will open. The Space Station, as a unique R&D facility, operation base, and transportation node, will not only enhance deeper-space ventures but also enable entirely new initiatives for man's advancement in space not possible before. One large goal enabled by the Space Station could be a manned Mars landing mission as a major national objective some time beyond the year 2000. Since its principal themes would be joint exploration and advancement of mankind in space, its scientific, technical and sociological benefits would be of unprecedented scope and magnitude. The Space Station should be regarded as having a 'beachhead' role in supporting multiple goals and multiple users. Commonalities and possible synergisms between program and mission systems, elements, and technologies of large new initiatives beyond the Space Station should be assessed.
