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?

Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

Ty QPG,
