"Our species" means nothing, really. 99.9% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct. Our species, too, will eventually go extinct.

Of course most species are now extinct. That's because they failed.
It's true that there will eventually be no organisms that we'd recognize as human. But it's not necessarily because we die out. We may simply survive long enough, and encounter enough new environments, that we evolve out of it.
You don't seem to understand very much about evolution. There will come a day, however you define that day, when there won't be a single homo sapiens left on this earth. "Evolving out of it" is still "dying out," in the view of homo sapiens, which won't exist anymore. It won't be "us." Forms will have mutated sufficiently for their classification to fall outside of "homo sapiens," and those remaining who are will eventually die. Maybe not the first time, maybe not the second, but, eventually, natural selection will favor the new forms over us. Those new forms will be a new species, and it will have its own concerns. I don't much care about what those are.
