Does the success of autonomous spacecraft and the rise of AI render human involvement in future space exploration unnecessary?

Probably not.

Even were AGI & autonomous swarms of robot space drones to take over space exploration tomorrow, they'd probably want to take a few humans, and maybe some other species along—heck why not a biosphere or two?

Maybe not ‘necessary’ necessary, but still handy to bring along. How better to help young AI learn patience?

Can it be true that people know your name, not your story, they’ve heard what you’ve done, but not what you’ve been through, so take their opinions of you with a grain of salt?
