Astronomers have detected a half-kilometre wide asteroid that appears to be on a collision course with the Earth — in 172 years time.
In a study reported in the journal Icarus, scientists say the asteroid named 1999-RQ36 has a one-in-1,000 chance of hitting the Earth in 2182.
Known as a PHA, or potentially hazardous asteroid, 1999-RQ36 was first discovered about 10 years ago and since then astronomers have been plotting its orbital trajectory.

I might be dead by then
This is our Grand-Children's problem then.
Or Skynet's problem.
That said its not much a problem, its only a half-kilometre wide asteroid, thats about a 1/4 of a mile, and I think the minimum of our nukes is 2 to 5 mile blast radius. Heck at only a 1/4 of a mile they might not even have to use nukes, they could use a big Thermobaric Bomb.
Each year tech advances.
So take into count the kind of tech we have by then.
Humans do fine...unless its an asteroid storm...xD
I dont think it will.
