Few questions about Asteroid 99942 Apophis?

The odds are 1:48,000 that Apophis will hit Earth in 2036. This is an extremely low probability, and not something I would worry about. Typically, the probability of impact decreases over time, as the orbit becomes more accurately known. It's doubtful that this impact would cause the human race to die.
