Just saw the Towers of Light come on-line.

Some questions:

1) Are they visible from space?    It certainly didn't look like it from
the footage I saw (as opposed to the artists rendetions released beforehand
which looked like they would be visible from Alpha Centauri. ;-)

2) How bright would the towers of light have to be at ground level to be
visible from the space shuttle?

3) *IF* they towers of light were visible from space, would they count as
the second man-made object visible from space?   (I've heard, which come to
think of it may just be an urban legend, that the Great Wall of China is
the only man-made object visible from space.)
