NYT -- Chinese Astronaut Didn't See Great Wall. October 17, 2003 Chinese Astronaut Didn't See Great Wall By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 7:12 a.m. ET BEIJING (AP) -- China's first astronaut said he didn't see the Great Wall while in orbit, contradicting a Chinese belief that it is the only structure visible from space. "I did not see our Great Wall from space," Lt. Col. Yang Liwei said in an interview with China Central Television. The transcript was released Friday. The report said Yang's interviewer asked about the Great Wall after viewers left messages on the broadcaster's Internet site asking him to verify the popular belief that the Great Wall can be seen from space. The wall stretches thousands of miles across northern China but is only a few yards wide. Yang said he didn't see it, but added that the Earth was "very beautiful." The report didn't say whether Yang could see any other artificial structures like the pyramids of Egypt or U.S. Interstate 95. Copyright 2003 The New York Times Company.
