What if in 2044 an asteroid will obliterate Earth?

A monster asteroid is spotted hurtling toward earth. It is a near miss. But, its path puts it on a direct collision course with Earth in 2044.
The World’s governments scramble to put together a plan to deflect the asteroid but the calculations predict global obliteration. No survivors.
An ark ship is created. It will be able to sustain life orbiting Mars for hundreds of years, possibly waiting for a change in Earth’s condition.
Three types of people are allowed to board the Ark. Those who are eligible and can also pay giving all their assets (the billionaires club), those who are selected by lottery, and those who will be needed most, the best, the strongest, the brightest.
Less than 1000 people are to be saved. 75% of them from among the best of all humans. The remaining split evenly between the ‘eligible’ rich, and the lottery.
Does this Ark get built? Does the world make it to 2044? Do you think anyone should be able to buy their place on board? What will the government on the ship be like? Will humanity be able to join forces to build one ark, or will every super power build its own? What would the last 20 years of Earth be like?
