As I recall, we have sent a number of probes to comets already (Giotto being the first) and golly gosh...they look a lot like balls of ice. But then again NASA and the other space agencies are probably in on the cover up. Or maybe the balls of plasma are covered in ice, which somehow does not melt in contact with plasma.
