Sure, cosmic rays and micrometeoroids are a problem for everyone. But computers can deal with much wider temperature and pressure and gravity ranges, eat energy directly, are easy to backup/restore, and don't get bored.
Are we really closer to solving longevity (and psychology), or having reliable hibernation / cold sleep etc, than we are to AGI? Maybe both are equally fantastical, but the latter at least seems to have a practical path forward.
We could potentially bioengineer more space-adapted human descendants (or "brain in a vat" / human-computer hybrids etc) but that will be politically infeasible for a long time to come.
