The Great Wall of China Is The Only Man Made Structure Visible From Outer Space

This myth has been with us for many years now. One of the sparks of this myth may be that when the U.S.A. landed on the moon, they could've possibly seen other man made structures (although this is highly unlikely). There aren't really more than two perspectives on this myth, either yes it is true, or no it is false. There really isn't any room for an "in between" perspective.

There isn't much science to this myth, just "can you see the great wall of china from space?" Satellites and rocket ships may have to do with it in a little way but not much else.

This myth has a hint of truth in it, you can in fact see the great wall of china from space, according to Scientific American, but it is not the only man made structure visible from space. the only way that you can see the great wall of China from space is when the weather conditions are perfect and when a satellite or rocket ship is in low orbit. Websites like Snopes, The Great Wall of China's website, Live Science Online and Funtrivia.com are all reputable sites (snopes and Funtrivia.com are debatable) that say the same thing. The great wall of china is not visible from outer space. I'm going with them on this one. As much as i wanted to see the great wall of china from space i can't because it's just not physically possible.

Longboarding - Where to ride for different styles

There are many places to longboard, but it all depends on what type of longboarding that you like to do. If you are looking to just cruise around with the wind in your hair then flatland is for you. If you are into going fast with sharp hairpin turns and big predrifts then you would be looking for hills and mountains. If you like what we longboarders call dancing then flatland or a hill with a low grade is just what you're looking for. One last style called freeride, this means you like to do everything within the longboarding family, you would choose anything between a 35% grade mountain road or a flat road for cruising.
