I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Seriously, though, my grandfather was a professional pilot. I think there are very few things as peaceful and sobering as a barely lit instrument panel during sunset/sunrise over the Rockies. There's a moment on a clear day when you can see the sun and the stars with the mountains at the bottom of it all. From altitude it didn't last very long, but it was like all at once you could see the entire universe and you realized just how small that mountain — and you — really are.
