I hope it misses. It will mess up our equipment on Mars if dust is flying everywhere. But if it does get hit, I hope that the people of our planet can start focusing more on technology development for energy, propulsion, protection, insulation, and terraforming. As for everything else (other than praying), those can be extracurriculars. The main obstacle to this would be the lack of immediate incentive. The asteroid mining companies try to provide future incentive by saying there are resources to be mined. However, to completely change our culture, education, and occupations to gear towards space colonization, we'll need a lot more than that.
