Budget cuts mean that the James Webb Space Telescope won't launch until 2018 now, and could get canceled COMPLETELY. I actually think that's a very bad thing, but the JWST is gobbling up so much of NASA's shrinking science budget that it might not entirely be a bad thing. I think NASA is too committed to JWST to have it disappear, though.
Similarly for the beleaguered JPSS, which was to be the next-gen primary climate variable observer.
