House sized asteroid sliding close to Earth:

If the asteroid collided with earth, how much of it would disintegrate upon entry to earth's atmosphere? Do scientists have a way of calculating that?

I want to be standing atop a very high mountain so I can be hit by the asteroid. On top of my head..

If a chicxulub level asteroid hit you, the shock wave preceding it would do you in, maybe 4 seconds before the fit hit the shan. In any event, you would be a tiny contributor of organics to the grind and perhaps some of your own organic material would eject away into space and hit Mars a few million years later🙂
