Isaac Asimov expressed an interesting view of the future development of space travel [1]. Basically, humans develop true AI first in the form of positronic computers/brains.

Obviously we're nowhere near that yet, but one can dream. 1. http://literature.wikia.com/wiki/I%2C_Robot http://literature.wikia.com/wiki/I%2C_Robot (search for 'Escape' or 'the brain')
