"The Great Wall of China is the only man made structure visible from the moon."

That's a silly statement.....have you ever seen pictures of the earth taken from the moon" Only the continents and the oceans and polar ice caps are visible. I've heard a similar statement, "The Great Wall of China is the only man made structure visible from space", meaning an artificial satellite like the shuttle. That too is silly.....consider this, the Great Wall is about 10-12 feet wide....an interstate highway is very often 6 lanes wide, which I would guess is about 60 feet. If the Great Wall is visible, then an interstate highway should be also.
