The only way we'll get to really explore is if we extend life and make ourselves immortal or digitize ourselves and live as mechanical beings.
I'd love to have a cyborg body. Digital consciousness downloadable and transferable and get to live for a few billion years and explore the universe.
Attack ships on fire on the shoulder of Orion and watch C beams glitter in the darkness at the Tannhauser Gate.
FTL will probably never work so unless we can bend space with some form of gravity generation or somehow create a stable wormhole and stargate about the place, then it'll be sub LS ships taking centuries travelling between stars.
Watch Andromeda and the Milky Way forming a new super galaxy (The Andromeda Way sounds cool ) or be here in the Sol system as the Sun goes red giant and swallows the earth.
Observe the universe as either it collapses in on it's self as the dark energy expends it's energy and gravity pulls it all back into a singularity or more scarily that the universe keeps expanding and expanding and eventually burns through all of it's fuel and goes dark.
Unless we wipe ourselves out, I think humanity will spread through the universe and colonise it. It's our nature to explore and what better place than the universe.

The only way we'll get to really explore is if we...
...do it between us over countless generations, with each of us playing our own little part along the way
We've seen things that our grandparents would never have imagined, and our grandchildren will likely do the same.
