    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!

        Most of the US West of the Missisipi is still largely dark.
