The National New Technology Telescope (NNTT) is envisaged as having a 15-m aperture, whose area is greater, by comparison to that of a 4-m telescope, by a factor of 14. Attention is given to problems in which the gain in limiting flux is inversely proportional to area, as well as those in which gain increases with diameter. The NNTT is noted to offer a small advantage over tha NASA Space Telescope in spectroscopy for point sources, even at low resolutions. Star formation studies, the Galactic halo, and high redshift galaxies, are used to illustrate the effect of the 15-m NNTT's use on standing theoretical questions. The IR performance and spectroscopic capability of the NNTT represent an order of magnitude improvement over current telescopes' performance.
