    Future generations are gonna miss the ethereal beauty of the starry night sky, that makes me sad.

    Then again, it would’ve been even more beautiful in the past for cavemen.

        Pretty sure seeing stars from space is a lot better than what cavemen saw.

          We’ll get there, someday. I do hope we can tone down light pollution significantly in the coming years, and come up with something other than massive LEO constellations so that the night sky is clearer. We need clear skies for our space telescopes and creatures that need the night sky to navigate.
