Perhaps you should see the following sites before you shut your mind off completely!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_China http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/gyzg/t192319.htm http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_092 This quote was particularly revealing "From a low orbit of the earth, many artificial objects are visible on the earth, such as highways, ships in the sea, railroads, cities, fields of crops, and even some individual buildings. While at a low orbit, the Great Wall of China can certainly be seen from space but it is not unique in that regard. However, when leaving the earth's orbit and acquiring an altitude of more than a few thousand miles, no man-made objects are visible at all. NASA says, "The Great Wall can barely be seen from the Shuttle, so it would not be possible to see it from the Moon with the naked eye." Thus, it'd be tough to spot the Great Wall of China or any other object from the moon. Furthermore, from the moon, even the continents are barely visible." So it all depends on your point of view. In low Earth orbit one can see the great wall (and presumably the KFC ad) further into space (e. g. the moon) one cannot. From deep space, one cannot see the earth with the naked eye, I'd imagine. |
