    Your answer is a little misleading. I think you meant there are several stars that close to us, but none that can go supernova.

      That’s fair. It’s also a little misleading because there are other cosmic events that could happen that are both closer to us and potentially further away, and have in the past. I wouldn’t say we are immune from the hazards of space but my comment could have been construed that way.
