I recently went for a run around Mt Saint Helens, which I started before sunrise. It's a very desolate area, with limited light pollution. I suddenly noticed dozens of satellites flying overhead and was startled by how vivid they were. First time I've ever seen them. My response was to become a little bit choked up.

It's not worth holding progress back for the sake of a nice view.
