assuming the EHT retains funding to do that.
In the article linked below, the author suggests EHT has near term funding and plans for long range projects which include expanding their network of telescopes:
What's next: The international collaboration, funded in part by the National Science Foundation, plans to add two more telescopes to the mix by 2020, and scientists hope to one day launch a space-based observatory as well.
More telescopes around the world could also mean that researchers can create black hole photos more quickly... That added speed could help scientists glimpse the black hole in the center of the Milky Way, named Sagittarius A*.
"If you make it quickly, then you can see changes, and that's particularly important for Sag A*, which changes on 20- or 30-minute time scales." — EHT scientist Dan Marrone told Axios
