Ive been thinking about it and about our future. Can we survive?

Humans will die eventually - realistically speaking the planet will become completely untenable for humans in about 250 million years or so, even ignoring any effect we personally have on the planet, or the potential for catastrophe (like a world-killer asteroid we can't stop somehow).

Long-term human survival basically requires viable long-distance space travel and the ability to actually capitalize on whatever we might find out there. As well as worthwhile planets being available in the first place.

Though even then, you'd almost certainly still have multiple bottleneck moments for the species where current conditions become untenable to support the full existing population. Mandatory or voluntary population control might help with that, but even then unexpected and sudden shifts would still cause problems.
