Eve Online rules.
Humans will 100% not reach the stars is we don't build our knowledge. As we continue to pass on information as we learn new things nobody can say what sort of technologies we will discover and use.
Even if we don't make it, there's even a chance that between our extinction and the sun going boom a spacefaring species will find the evidence we left behind and will learn about our culture.
Even if everything is destroyed and nobody ever knows we existed, we DID exist and we know that we gave it a damn good run before it all ended. Maybe life will evolve on another planet, or already is/has and life will have a second shot at becoming a perminant aspect of the universe.
At least until all the suns burn out into black holes and the entire universe collapses into a mathematically infinitely small point within which everything is reduced into base subatomic particles from which the next in a long series of big bangs creates yet another new universe and we get to experience the entire process over again.
