*** This is somewhat of a case of Fridge Logic, if Roshi and Piccolo had enough energy to blow away the moon, which is roughly only just a little bit smaller than the Earth itself is, then they should be able to store enough energy in their fists to punch the monkey out. Now this doesn't apply later on, but at this point in the series the Great Apes aren't THAT powerful.
**** Er... At least according to Wikipedia, the moon is "a quarter the diameter of Earth and 1/81 its mass". That's more than a little bit smaller.
***** How many times has the moon been blown up, and apparently regenerates without a wish to bring it back, also one of the filler villains in dragon ball was put on the moon, no continuity for lunar objects?
****** It obviously deployed chaff and escaped at the last second, hiding behind Mars until it was safe to come out again.
