NASA plans to launch it in 2014.

Plans to, but whether it does or not is another matter. Look at the TPF, it's nothing more than a pipe dream now. They've had their budget slashed again, so they're trying to do too much with even less money than they had last year. This is where things could get dangerous, with corners being cut in order to save dollars.
