Can We See The Great Wall From Space?
Filed in: Technology — March 16th, 2004
China’s first astronaut – Yang Liwei said, “The scenery was very beautiful. But I didn’t see the Great Wall.”
Soon, the education ministry has ordered the publisher of the sixth-grade textbook to delete the line propagating the idea that the Great Wall can be seen from a spacecraft orbiting Earth.
However, US astronaut Gene Cernan said he has seen Great Wall from Earth orbit.
Thought:
Personally, I prefer to believe that we can see Great Wall from space. I think China’s publisher will also agree with me, so that they do not need to reprint millions of book?!
