It also assumes that all life is as interested in exploring and expanding like humans are. I'd argue that the intelligent life that is most likely to survive to the point where it might understand that universe enough to travel it would be the ones that can be content with what it has rather than chasing a constant obsession with growth. We can see how that's going for us, where it got us here in the first place but also might get us to extinction.
