Also, if spice is essential to space travel, how did humans manage to get to Arrakis in the first place?

Ah! There was interstellar commerce run by AI’s until the Butlerian Jihad (BJ), which basically got rid of machine intelligence. The spice had been discovered before the BJ, and the Bene Gesserit had helped gene mod the Navigator’s Guild so that trade was not interrupted. It also required Houses to acquire Mentats to serve as human computers.

Don’t ask me about why humans were so scared of machine intelligence, but I suspect it was a SkyNet scenario.
