What's so great about rationality anyway? I care a lot about life and would find it a pity if it went extinct, but I don't care so much about rationality, and specifically I don't really see why having the human-style half-assed implementation of it around is considered a good idea.
So far, humans are the life's best bet for surviving the day our Sun goes supernova.
Because we don't have better one (yet?).
Not to detract from your point, but that's pretty unlikely. Unless it becomes a part of a tight binary star several billion years down the road, when it has turned into a white dwarf. Of course, by then Earth will have been destroyed during the Sun's red giant stage.
