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. Then, the AI figures out how to make Hyperspatial travel work, something humans had been unable to do.
Obviously we're nowhere near that yet, but one can dream.
