Amazing that's all I can say about it. Truly amazing. Yeah u see pictures of it on the tv or Internet and so on but its 1000000000 better than any pictures. I highly recomend seeing it in real life. But the main thing is. I dont think you would be able to see it from space with your naked eye. It takes a jet engine to fly it 6hours and full throatal if it was fully streched out. But I still struggle to see how they would be able to see it because its surrounded by moutains and would blend to the hillys and would just look like rock.

You must swallow your portion of drinking-is-a-must soup from that order and then shut up. There's an interesting and also very complicated race (it's impossible to decide who's whose enemy etc.) between 'super powers'. But the truth is out there lying under their 'bloody' feet; and if the eyes of a man / woman can't see the truth, be sure that they persuade you their lies are the only truth. Open your eyes to see the real Great 'Green' Wall seperating them from us. Anyone can see it clearly with naked eyes anywhere...

As mentioned above, the wall is only a few meters wide. Just because you can see it from google maps after zooming it many times does not mean its visible from space. An astronaut would see soemthing more like this: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.730000,107.500000&spn=3.887758,7.702515&t=k&hl=en It has already been cleared by a few astronauts that they cannot see it.

It is URL is <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.995,119.772&spn=0.048108,0.050473&t=k&hl=en" rel="nofollow">here</a> But I guess googlesightseeing stuff do not believe it or missed it. The section is inside a modern city and the city map clearly marks it. <a href="http://www.blogtt.com/Map/8Hebei/7445.jpg" rel="nofollow">Here</a>. I know you guys don't read in Chinese, but look out for the zig-zag gray pattern running from NW to SE. And at the crossing of this section and the railroad is the famous east post - "Shanhaiguan Pass". The google map in fact shows it clearer than the city in this sense. This pass and section of Great Wall are documented at wikipedia. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanhai_Pass" rel="nofollow">Here for the pass</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_China" rel="nofollow">here for the whole Wall</a>. > it's only a few yards WIDE At many sections, it is as wide as 7 meters, converting to NOT just "a few" yards. (1 yard = 0.914 401 8288 meter ) I know what Rob tring to say though and I personally don't think it is visible to naked eye in space. Interestingly, it is a U.S. astronaut, Gene Cernan, who declared the Great Wall "is, indeed, visible to the naked eye". My wife actually had a chance to meet two US and two former USSR astronauts recently. She asked one from US and one from USSR. One answered no and the other said yes. :) I actually submitted much earlier this month (July 2005) about the east starting point of the Great Wall. It is URL is Placemark: here / Google Earth

I mean, the Wall is very LONG, but it's only a few yards WIDE. No way you'd be able to see it from space. Some people even extended it to "visible from the MOON with the naked eye" which is just crazy talk. I can’t believe that anyone ever feel for the “visible from space” story.
