Where Are the Interstellar Comets?
The existing theories of comet dynamics held that large numbers of comets are ejected to interstellar space and that other stellar systems would do the same; however, no comet on a hyperbolic orbit has ever been observed. Calculations developed by Duncan et al. are used to show that most comets thought to be ejected would actually be captured by the Oort Cloud.

(abstract) Space Communications Technologies for Interstellar Missions
This paper will examine candidate communications architectures for potential interstellar missions in an effort to determine feasibility for such links and to identify likely technology advances that will be needed to support such endeavors. Examination of this challenging and futuristic communications problem may serve to guide the direction and advancement of space telecommunications technologies useful for other nearer-term applications.

Molecular Hydrogen-Rich Interstellar Ice
While molecular hydrogen is by far the most abundant gas phase molecule in interstellar dark clouds, the extreme volatility of H(sub 2) suggests that it has a relatively low abundance in grain volatile mantles, thought to be composed largely of amorphous water ice.
