Closer to 1 billion before the increasing heat of the sun kills life on earth. Unless we boost the planet to a higher orbit. Or I guess use a lot of sun shields

  That's not a lot of time then in the big picture considering it took us 100,000 to where we are now where we think handheld phones are amazing. We still have to develop fusion, some sort of way to shield our ships from space debris, faster travel, etc. Or maybe develop physics so advanced that we can wormhole to places. Who the hell knows. But that's only a few million generations to create enough Einstein's to get us off this planet. Meanwhile smart people are having fewer kids than the average people an education for the masses is worsening. So it's kind of a race against time.
