When you gaze upon the stars do you see sheer beauty?

Every weekend or so , i bring my deckchair outside , and sit up and watch the stars right before i go to bed , luckily ive been blessed with a amazing area to view them from where there's no street lights.





But i sometimes wonder whether my imagination has some how been altered by film and television , i mean its not a very original thought thinking one day man will live in space , a lot of people have that sort of thought/dream if you will , but with all the destruction and chaos in the world , wouldn't it be truly remarkable just for a minute to imagine living in space , i mean all those amazing beautiful fantastic sites , its enough to put anyone's mind at peace , even if it is for a split second.





Maybe one day , it will happen who knows , but my question to you all is , what's your space dream , when you look up at the nights sky , what do you see for you , what's your dream?When you gaze upon the stars do you see sheer beauty?
Or not.





Living is space is comparable to deep-sea exploration. We can do it. We have done it. It's uncomfortable and expensive. NO ONE lives there. The best people can hope for is someday having undersea dwellings reminiscent of that crazy guy in Canada that buried all those school buses and covered them with concrete.





WHY would anyone do this when there are HUGE TRACTS OF LAND still uninhabited on the Earth? WHY would they live in the hostile environment of LEO?





If you have THAT much money to throw away, buy some land in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. No one lives there and its very pretty.When you gaze upon the stars do you see sheer beauty?
I see more than the sheer beauty. I see God and the beauty of the laws


of physics at many scales of size and time displayed. I'm amazed that I understand a small part of that. God is physics and physics is God. Then I hang out in the middle of M13 for awhile in my imagination. :-D
How BIG the universe happens to be!

i get all hot and bothered, usually followed by making mad passionate crazy love with my girlfriend.
My dream is that one night all electricity in the world will be cut off for an hour or so, so we can see the stars as nature intended.
Tony,..Tony,..Tony...you romantic you .....i got a tell ya when i look up and see every point of light in that vastness i feel so so small ,.. i,m thinking we as a galaxy ( the milky way is not a big one) with billions of suns/stars , just in this galaxy alone,..and to think of the billions of other galaxies with billions of suns/stars in each of those , the numbers are staggering . Where?, if you could , would you like to travel ?...i mean even if we ever developed the technology to journey out side our galaxy ( and i,m sure we would want to explore some of the billions of planets in our own 1rst.) where would we go?..if we could reach the oldest and furthest galaxies in the universe , say in one year , i,d be so tempted to say '; Hey Tony lets stop here or how about that planet..';like man there are trillions of planets in this universe where do you want to start?...but that would be my space/dream


oh by the way can we bring cows?
I have seen the stars from a very dark area away from the city lights. I am astounded by the dazzling array of brilliant stars, more that I could believe existed. The thousands points of light and bold swath of the Milky Way leaves me breathless.





This is when I can't see my hand in front of my face. I wish everyone could experience this. They would realize what we have lost by flooding our land and sky with light. We will have to wait for a power blackout for this.
When i look up at the sky [at camp, i live in the city so its very hard to see stars]


i always think about my puppy that died a couple years ago, not sure why.But it does deeply sadden me, and then i go to sleep.


EDIT;On earth day [or our city calls it ';Sleep tight, no lights';, its only for like 4 hours tho.]i remember EVERYONE was turning off their lights, the city even turned off the lights too, and their was no light at all!And everyone was gazing at the stars from their roof, with snacks and binoculars.i will always remember that day, and to this day i always wish that would happen all the time.
