I don't know about from the moon, but from outer space, no. encarta.msn.com (edit: is the article saying outer space as in farther away from the moon?) I used to have some real tear jerker poems about the horrible methods used to force the people to build that wall. Funny thing is, "the longest cemetary on earth" comes up with nada on all my search engines anymore. I also have no inclination to visit the pyramids, or any other tribute to tyranny. Walter.

"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.
