    The one big reason I would love to live in the past or have a time machine is to see a true night sky. Sick of the light washed-out and satellite specked one we have now.

      Take a trip to Alaska, northern BC, Norway, etc.

      There's a particular observatory in Hawaii that is supposed to be amazing.

      I'm sure there's plenty of other spots!

        Fort Davis Texas at the McDonald Observatory is one of my favorites! The link below gives you a pretty good idea on how bad or good your night sky is.
