I think the planet is gonna be fine, not sure about life though.

Life will be fine, not sure about current life forms though.

once there was too much oxygen in the air and the most species to ever die, died.

another time there was a giant rock that slammed into the planet with more force than anything anyone can imagine and a ton of life died.

but life is still here i think it will last 6 thousand more years

There's already life that eats plastic and radiation. That's future ancestors.

" not sure about HUMAN life though"

Even human life will still likely survive, just not necessarily in the large-scale, global civilization that we have today. Even if that all collapses, scattered pockets of human civilization will remain across much of the world.
