I'm 28 years old. My dying wish is to see a clear night sky with no light pollution. I want to see what our ancestors saw every night of their lives. I want to see the arm of the milky way. I want to see space in its entirety.

I'm 28 years old and will probably never get to see any of that in my lifetime. It's not just a problem future generations have to deal with but current and former.

We're fucking up so bad.

Take a hiking trip to some remote area on a day with good weather conditions. Bring some warm cloth as these days usually come with cold nights.

It's definitely not impossible to see a night-sky like that. I have seen it multiple times in my life. But yeah, it requires some preparation and travelling these days.
