Abstract:	X-ray interferometry is well on its way to becoming a reality. We present an update on MAXIM, the Micro-Arcsecond X-ray Imaging Mission. With the eventual goal of imaging the event horizon of a black hole, MAXIM will require a phased array of x-ray mirrors across a one kilometer aperture. Recent design advances, backed by demonstrations in the laboratory have established that such a mission is not only feasible, but affordable. Soon, x-ray observatories may rise to the standards set by radio astronomers.
