Good point. We'll need to send some robot mothers too.

  That gives you step -1 of "invent general-purpose AI that can completely replace a human". If you've got that, why not just send the robots by themselves?

    Why not just send rocks? The concept is the migration of the species, ie the fulfillment of genetic imperative. If you aren't interested in that, the rocks will be fine without us.

  You might want to read the “Glacier” short story by Alastair Reynolds in the “Galactic North” anthology.
