The European Space Agency has just four years to work on a mission called Ramses .
It would study the asteroid Apophis in detail before, during, and after it flies by Earth in 2029 .
If it launches late, it would miss its window to catch up with the asteroid before it reaches Earth .
Ramses would be able to get a powerful window into the asteroid's structure and makeup.
ESA has yet to confirm the Ramses mission, but has given it permission to start work.
The mission would not get to watch an asteroid encounter Earth , but it would still make discoveries that could help us understand and defend against asteroids.
A collision with the spacecraft would make about as much of an impact on Apophis as a fly would on Mount Everest .
