The sun won't kill us by Super Nova, it'll just boil us to death.
So, how do we stop that Star from destroying us all?
Welcome to generic space science, I will be your guide.
You need 4+ solar masses to have a supernova, 8 for a hypernova. This is because 4+ solar masses achieve the heat and pressure needed to fuse iron, which causes the explosion.
And our sun isn't even close to going out, we have bigger problems to worry about.
