Future generations are gonna miss the ethereal beauty of the starry night sky, that makes me sad.
Then again, it would've been even more beautiful in the past for cavemen.
The more advanced our civilization gets, the more the stars dim for us.
Pretty sure seeing stars from space is a lot better than what cavemen saw.
Yeah, images from Hubble and JWST absolutely blow anything caveman could have seen out of the water.
We'll get there, someday. I do hope we can tone down light pollution significantly in the coming years, and come up with something other than massive LEO constellations so that the night sky is clearer. We need clear skies for our space telescopes and creatures that need the night sky to navigate.

Space telescopes actually don't need clear skies; one of their main advantages over ground-based telescopes is that they are above light pollution and atmospheric distortion.
That's not to say that we shouldn't reduce light pollution for other reasons, but space telescopes are one of the few things you could have picked which are unaffected.
Er, sorry. Misspoke. Ground-based telescopes!
