我们需要接受这个事实，在地球上的大部分地区，很少或根本没有处理的废物将有充分的理由用于农业。

即使地球表面并没有被这种轰炸所灭绝，但除了最原始的生命形式之外，几乎不可能有其他生命形式幸存下来。
Even if Earth's surface were not actually sterilized by this bombardment, it is unlikely that any but the most primitive life-forms could have survived.
另一方面，像地球的卫星这种相对温暖、表面引力较小的天体，它们连最重的气体也无法容纳，因此也没有大气层。
On the other hand, a comparatively warm body with a small surface gravity, like Earth's moon, is unable to hold even the heaviest gas and thus lacks an atmosphere.
