Or because we'll already be dead due to age and natural causes.

Tell me what you think about this!
I personally am thankful to be alive. A meteor that is the size of a city block could level a city, or a state depending on its velocity.
'No chance of hitting us.' Why so worried?

One could argue that due to progress of science- or maybe he meant 'us' as the human race.

Asteroids, asteroids.
With the current techonology we cannot prevent the largest asteroids of hitting us, felt you comfortable or not. Of course the smaller ones can be diverted off course, but we have never done this in practice.
