A telescope to follow the HST does not necessarily have to be a lot bigger to make a dramatic advance in the observing capability. Provided it is cooled to allow exploration the 2-4 micrometers window of very dark sky background, and has several times the 0.85 m aperture of SIRTF, it would have already unique capability to resolve and study the crowded fields of the most strongly red-shifted, distant galaxies. Such a telescope could test many of the advanced technologies needed for the mirror elements in future deployed telescope or interferometers of very large size.
