Is a meteor or asteroid hitting the earth and causing a major problem for me or other people a real threat? What is the chance that I or others can get hurt?
In: Other
A major problem? No. Small scale impacts happen on the timescale of once per thousands of years, and that would be just a local problem. Our orbital path is pretty much cleared, so large scale impacts that would be a problem for everyone happen on the timescale of millions of years.
