I hope I get to go to a dark-sky area someday and see the sky. I know it won't look like this obviously but it'll be a lot cooler than what my light-polluted sky looks like
Yeah, it'll never be this dramatic, but you'll be astounded by how many stars, and how large they seem, when you get to a dark site. Even getting to a Bortle 5 location like I live in and letting your eyes properly adjust to night vision, the amount of stars is pretty spectacular. Not sure where you live, by check out a site like DarkSkyMap and you may be surprised to find some areas with less light pollution not too far from you.
