Lot's of manmade things can be seen from space. i.e. "Shuttle astronauts can see highways, airports, dams and even large vehicles from an Earth orbit that is about 135 miles (217 kilometers) high."

I'm flipping annoyed with myself that I remember what the answer isn't but not what it is.

Well stoke, according to QI it most definitely isn't the great wall of China.
