Yes, we've developed technology so we can intentionally escape the bounds of our own atmosphere but that's not going to count for anything if we cause our own extinction.
The little bit of space exploration we've done is definitely an accomplishment. When you think of how much of our technology is designed for killing other humans, though, maybe we aren't that smart after all.
