   That’s kind of a negative attitude, Dilbert. The China Tourism Board might not welcome you with open arms….

   You can see the Great wall and the California aqueduct. One took centuries to build.

   And the other is taking centuries to pay off.

   Using a spy satellite? Sure. They can see a basketball from space.

   Using just your eyes, NO.

   It would be interesting to compare it with Hadrian’s wall.

    Actually, yes. I learned in school that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure you can see with the naked eye from space.

    That’s a prevalent myth. Trying to see the Great Wall from space is like trying to see a hair on a multi-color carpet.

    They didn’t build it keep armies out. They built it for tourism centuries later. So it was a success.

    You actually can see The Great Wall of China from near-Earth orbit, about fifty miles up. The mistaken reports were that it was “the only man-made object which can be seen from the Moon”. Not true.
