An accelerator complex that can produce ultra-intense beams of muons presents many opportunities to explore new physics. This facility is unique in that it can present a physics program that can be staged and thus move forward incrementally, addressing exciting new physics at each step. An intense cooled low-energy muon source can be used to perform extraordinarily precise lepton flavor violating experiments and these same muons can be accelerated to be used in a Neutrino Factory or energy-frontier Muon Collider. In this paper I will give an introduction to muon accelerator facilities and their physics capabilities and then will discuss some of the limiting technologies that must be developed in order to make these concepts a reality.
