Nothing at all. Halley's Comet has had no physical effect on the world. There would still be hundreds of other comets in orbit, and we'd still be seeing bright lights in the sky.

About the only effect of Halley's Comet was that it was a fairly short-period comet that even the relatively primitive astronomers of the time could tell was regularly repeating. Someone else, a little later, would have come to the inevitable conclusion.

What year will the next comet hit Earth?

If the U.S. Air Force and NASA have anything to say about it, never. There are probably a hundred thousand comets out in space that we've never seen because the LAST time they approached the Sun was before man existed, or had invented writing; in either event, we have no record of it. Sooner or later, a comet will fall into the solar system on a collision course with the Earth. We know this WILL happen - we just don't know WHEN. So scientists are slowly working out ways to intercept or deflect or destroy such a comet. It probably won't happen for a thousand years or more. But the Earth is about 4 billion years old, and will probably exist for that much more. The Earth has been hit many times before. It WILL happen again. We need to start preparing now.

Is it humanly possible to see a comet twice?

Yes, it is possible for a comet to be visible from Earth more than once if it has a return orbit. Some comets have orbital periods that bring them back around and make them visible multiple times in a human lifetime.
