Is it true that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made object visible from space?

No. Multiple reference and fact-check sources state the claim is false: the Great Wall is not visible from the Moon with the naked eye, and it is not the only man-made object visible from space, since highways, dams, cities and other structures are visible from orbit.
