Inventions and synergies with global and national goals are rapidly 
improving the prospects for a high luminosity muon collider at the 
energy frontier. Analytical calculations, numerical simulations, and 
technical innovations  are coming together to make a strong case for a 
series of machines to be built, where each one is a precursor to the 
next, starting with the luminosity frontier machine at Fermilab, 
"Project X", and continuing through the upgraded neutrino physics 
programs. The ultimate machine will be an energy-frontier muon 
collider. In about 4 years, the LHC and Tevatron will point us toward 
the desired energy of the next lepton collider. At that time we must 
understand the needed technology and be ready to build the appropriate 
muon collider.
