AGI seems plausible enough but especially for the other two, I don't think we can take it for granted that the development of these technologies is imminent; that it will be economical, ethical, or just vaguely wise to use them; or that they will be generally good for mental health and quality of life, those things not necessarily being aligned with what does the most for the survival of our species, which inevitably comes up in discussions of being a space-faring civilization.
A comfortable life on a healthy Earth, with less disease and suffering, privacy if you want it, liberty, and favorable opportunities seems both more achievable and reliably "good".
