  X-ray astronomy needs to set bold, science driven goals for the next decade.
Only with defined science goals can we know what to work on, and a funding
agency appreciate the need for significant technology developments. To be a
forefront science the scale of advance must be 2 decades of sensitivity per
decade of time. To be stable to new discoveries these should be general,
discovery space, goals.
  A detailed consideration of science goals leads us to propose that a mirror
collecting area of 10 sq.meters with arcsecond resolution, good field of view
(>10 arcmin), and with high spectral resolution spectroscopy (R=1000-10,000)
defines the proper goal. This is about 100 times AXAF, or 30 times XMM. This
workshop has shown that this goal is only a reasonable stretch from existing
concepts, and may be insufficiently bold.
  An investment of roughly $10M/year for 5 years in X-ray optics technologies,
comparable to NASA's investment in ASTRO-E or a SMEX, is needed, and would pay
off hugely more than any small X-ray mission.
