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

Probably not.

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

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?

Given the delays, should the US government consider purchasing Airbus planes for use as Air Force One planes instead of Boeing airplanes?
