    This scene happens on his way to namek, so yes before he turns super Saiyan.

    That being said, neither before or after that can he breathe in space. I’m only aware of frieza and his race being specifically called out as being able to survive in open space, plus probably buu

      I could have sworn that the Freiza/Goku battle involves them both or each being in space, outside of the atmosphere of Namek, for at least small periods of time.

      Yeah, the Freiza race can just exist in space, but I thought there were some scenes of Goku being in space for at least longer than a normal human could possibly survive.

      … and then of course in the battle between Bardock and Freiza, Bardock, despite not being a Super Saiyan… along with a lot of other people… just full on have a battle in space above planet Vegeta.

      So… I’m going with the coherence/canonicity of ‘who can breathe in space’ is… kinda nonsense, lol.
