It’s usually said that the Great Wall of China is “the only human building that can be seen from space”...actually it’s false.
From the moon or other high orbits, no human construction can be seen. From low orbits, the Great Wall can be seen such as many other buildings. It may be long, but it’s thiner than any other motorway.
