Very many scientists would object to that.
Its right the fragility of biological carriers of life that makes robotic and machinistic "conquest" of life-hostile space - or intertstellar deep space travel - the more likely scenario. Like many also expect for this reason that the vast majority of possible superior civilizations will be technology/machinery-base forms of intelliogence - robot civilizations, in other words.
Intelligence may begin with biological life. But me too doubts that it ends there. These carbon-water-based bodies of us Earthlings simply are too weak and ill-suited to survive the dangers, demands and needs of interstellar space travelling. Not even mentioning the psychological fragility of ours.
