Is this where the name Moho came from?

"The Earth's upper crust and sample the warm, mysterious area where the crust and mantle intermingle-- the MohoroviÄÂić discontinuity, or "Moho." from Damn Interesting. Could this be what the hot rocky planet closest to Kerbol is named after? I guess it makes sense Moho the planet is rocky and very hot so I guess it is a mix of hard crust and molten rock like Moho the geologic term.

A very deep, narrow hole dug to the bottom of the planetary crust is also called a mohole. Moho sports two moholes.

When I was reading the article it mentioned the US version called "Project Mohole". It was cancelled due to lack of funding.

I had the same idea myself a while back. Never got any word one way or another for certain, though it's definitely a possibility.

Some of the devs have mentioned being fans of Total Annihilation, which used to have a resource building named Moho mines as in very deep mining at the mantle boundary. They'd know about the Mohorovicic discontinuity.

I'm pretty sure that is where the name comes from.

Soo... not the extinct species of Hawaiian birds, then?

Extinct Hawaiian birds? I am intrigued, do tell.

Moholes are named after MohoroviÄÂić.

Indeed, there was a Moho in Manchester (not related to Montreal steak, unfortunately!) as well, but it's changed its name since..
