From David Rubin
I cheer the crew of the JOIDES Resolution and hope their drill makes it through the Earth’s mantle (5 December 2015, p 7). They are not, however, the first geologists to try to drill through the Mohorovicic boundary.
From 1958 to 1966 the ran the Moho project to achieve this.
In 1970 the project gave it a shot, only to abandon it in 2006 for lack of funds.
