Yeah super volcanos and solar flares on the other hand... <I don't know how likely those are either, but they seem superscary isn't yellowstone overdue?>

  For what it's worth, Yellowstone's upper lava chamber is 5% molten and the lower magma chamber is about 2% molten. To get eruptions that percentage has to be much higher as it is in the Hawaiian volcanoes. Scientists have differing opinions on how many years it will take to reach that level but all of their numbers are well over 10k years. I had to look into this prior to moving near it.

    Still, I fear for my offspring... a man has no path to immortality, save for his precious seed from his loins, and women their ovaries.

    What if an asteroid hits it?

      Good timing on the question. We are about to pass through a chunkier part of the Taurid asteroid belt. If the rock is big enough to turn everything molten then I suppose it might be time to hitch a ride in a nuclear submarine.
