Answer

On March 16, 2880, asteroid (29075) 1950 DA has a small chance (0.012% or 1 in 8,300) of impacting Earth. This 1.3 km diameter asteroid is currently the object with the highest known probability of hitting Earth, though those odds are still very low. By 2880, humanity will likely have advanced planetary defense systems to deflect or destroy threatening asteroids. Technologies like gravity tractors, kinetic impactors, or nuclear deflection could easily handle this threat centuries before arrival.
