Almost certainly not by 2014, but there are still a lot of factors that are unknown. We certainly can't launch anything to go out there since the travel time alone forbids it. But if more accurate estimates come in a few months from now putting it very close, but missing, Mars, there might be some kind of crazy laser engineering to be done. I realize how crazy this is, but there's always reason to dream and brainstorm.
