Any weblinks where we can learn something about the where-abouts of ICE/ISEE ( International Comet Explorer / International Sun Earth Explorer ) as the craft was expected to return to Earth in 2014?

It's good news, but the people handling the PR and social media are behaving like rank amateurs. The hype at this point that the ICE / ISEE-3 team are churning out is really premature and they are setting themselves up for a media feeding frenzy if everything doesn't go exactly as planned. I get the sense that there are one or more huge egos driving this rather than the cooler heads we typically encounter with NASA professionals.

they are setting themselves up for a media feeding frenzy if everything doesn't go exactly as planned. On the contrary, my sense is that the media loves the underdog spin and even if they don't do anything else they'll be viewed as heroes for having tried on their "shoestring budget." I can appreciate that the tone of what they write is a bit grating, but I propose we treat them with rule 2.6 in mind as much as possible. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
