You could look at the attempt to create AGI as an extension of human exploration. Presumably if we do create AGI it will eventually leave Earth (either because we send it, or because it "wants" to go).
We'll be sending AI bots out into the universe (off planet) - that are considerably far away from being AGI - within two decades. It's going to take a lot longer than two decades to develop AGI (without fail the tech industry over-estimates progress in the relative near-term and underestimates it more in the longer term).
Wondering how long they would hold, especially because of radiations. Or micro impacts? What about material stability? 100, 1000, 10000 years, more or less?
