I have news for you; if a giant rock hits earth no technology can save 99% of the human population:) Neither Hollywood movies nor Elon Musk can save you. It doesn’t matter where it hits, it will be a mass extinction!

You are correct about it at this stage of your technological ability, but further in the future some technologies can become a viable to deflect asteroids:

NASA even tried a first test a few years ago:

Yes, I am talking about present day technology.
You know in hopeful times like in 50s, 60s and 70s people thought by 2000s we will all have flying cars and will colonize Mars. Clearly we have fallen behind those expectations:)
PS. By the way; you do know that I live in Houston. I have multiple colleagues who work at NASA. Vibe there is bit less hopeful than they publish externally:)
