Richard Halliburton's book "Second Book of Marvels" 1938 said the Great Wall of China is the only manmade object visible from the Moon. This belief has persisted today, assuming urban legend status, sometimes even entering school textbooks. Arthur Waldron, author the most authoritative history of the Great Wall, has speculated that the belief might go back fascination with the "canals" once believed to exist simple: If people the Mars. The logic was Earth can see the Martians' canals, the Martians might be able to see the Great Wall. But in fact, the Great Wall is only a few meters wide similar in size highways and airport runways and is about the same color as the soil surrounding it. It cannot be seen the unaided eye from the distance of the Moon, much less from Mars. If the Great Wall were visible from the Moon, it would also be apparent from nearEarth orbit, but from there it is barely visible, and only nearly perfect conditions. The Great Wall of China is no more conspicuous outer space than many other manmade objects. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_China Check
