Blood or vaginal secretions might enter a man's body through sores or other lesions. It is not certain whether open-mouth kissing can transmit AIDS; given the small concentrations of the virus so far found in saliva, it would seem to be what scientists call an inefficient method of spreading the disease...
Farquhar's first thought was that ISEE-3 could be directed toward Halley, providing a drastically cheaper alternative to the more than $350 million that a new and more sophisticated mission would cost.

Additional research suggested a less glamorous but more practical alternative: comet Giacobini-Zinner, which orbits the sun once every 6.5 years and could be easily visited when it was about 44 million miles...
