You know what else I hate? Artificial light.
Big amen to that. All of the light that you see on the 'pretty' spacecraft photos of nightime Earth is really miilions of dollars worth of waste, it's supposed to be pointing at the ground, not outer space. It screws up the glory of the night sky for everyone also.

My son lives out in the sticks in Australia and the night sky there is indescribable really, absolutely breathtaking. It could be like that for everyone. I would suspect that the greater part of the world's population have no idea what the night sky truly looks like.
