The Mohorovicic Discontinuity, or "Moho", is the boundary between the crust and the mantle of the earth. It was was discovered in 1909 by Andrija Mohorovicic , a Croatian seismologist. It occurs at an average depth of about 8 kilometers beneath the ocean basins and 32 kilometers beneath continental surfaces.
"No one has ever been deep enough into the earth to see the Moho and no wells have ever been drilled deep enough to penetrate it. Drilling wells to that depth is very expensive and very difficult because of the extreme temperature and pressure conditions. The deepest well that has been drilled to date was located on the Kola Peninsula of the Soviet Union. It was drilled to a depth of about 12 kilometers. Drilling to the Moho through oceanic crust has also been unsuccessful."
But they are very determined to change all that. While our world seems to falling apart at the seams ( pun intended...lol) economically, they seem to have unlimited funds for the Mission Moho. It was a proposal that was submitted to the The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)in April 2007, and is anticipated to last 10 to 15 years , with the ambition to drill completely through intact oceanic crust formed at a fast spreading rate, across the Moho and into the uppermost mantle.
Knowledge of the Moho, the crust-mantle boundary and the rocks of the upper mantle is fundamental to understanding the geodynamics and differentiation of our planet.
Apparently, they have using satellite missions to measure the magnetic field of the earths crust. The MAGSAT is one such mission.( I thought those satellites were for our enslavement) The “MoHole” is planned as the final stage of Mission Moho, which requires non-riser and riser drilling, geophysical site surveys and the development of new technology including the construction of a +4000 m riser.
Funding Agencies for this project are:
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and Japan’s Ministry of Science
The European Consortium for Ocean Research
The People’s Republic of China Ministry of Science and Technology.
Korean Ministry of Science

Note the areas on the globe which are only 10 kilometers to the Moho. Me thinks thats where they will be drilling.
