GR is fascinating, because it's something you actually can spend a long, long time completely failing to observe.

Basically until you either try to understand galaxies, or you've got a pesky drift issue with your satellites, you don't need to think about it much at all. Well I suppose if you want to understand why gravity is sometimes weird but you can just ignore that for a really long time.
