"The next possible dangerous collision could happen in 2182, when there is a 1 in
2,700 chance that a small near-Earth asteroid named
Bennu could penetrate the atmosphere."
But no fear: they will manage it
"The space agency in 2022 successfully crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid at 15,000 miles per hour in a doomsday scenario test run to prepare for deflecting one that was hurling towards the planet."
