Turns out that asteroid Bennu, which was visited and sampled by the OSIRIS-REx satellite, might possibly be a danger to Earth in a couple of centuries or so, collision-wise.
It's very unlikely that it will be, and maybe by then, if it really turns out to be a potential problem, one of two things might happen; humanity has destroyed the environment of the planet and only a few remnants are holding on in remote regions of the world that are still habitable; or humanity has advanced so much technologically that steering the asteroid to a non-collision course will be a piece of cake.
So there's time, either way.
This asteroid is one of the most likely to hit Earth. Here’s what it means for our future.
