Abstract: The extrapolation based on the standard model from previous data to the S anti ppS has been quite successful. However, the extrapolation from the S anti ppS to the SSC is substantially greater. In terms of mass, the former extrapolation was from M approx. = 30 GeV at PETRA, PEP, and the ISR to M approx. = 100 GeV at the S anti ppS. The extrapolation for the SSC is from M approx. = 100 GeV to M approx. = 1000-10,000 GeV. In addition there is an extrapolation in x. The typical x value at the S anti ppS is x approx. = m/sub W/s = 0.15, while for the SSC many processes of interest have x < 0.01. This does not mean that one should dispair or should ignore the theoretical predictions, but some degree of caution is in order.
