Teenage Goku was running laps around the Lookout. He didn't notice the thin air until he started training his muscles to get past Popo to meet God - training that, itself, came after Goku's first failed attempts to defeat Popo - and discovered he ran out of breath surprisingly fast.
Neither Bulma nor the infant Trunks has performed strenuous physical activity while up there.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!(checks manga)
PMC's right, Karin did bring up the thin atmosphere during Goku's training. He just needed it explained to him again by Popo after his laps exerted him surprisingly fast because...he's an idiot, I guess.
Still, both instances were only after extensive physical activity. Bulma hasn't been fighting anybody.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Yes...Bulma could've summoned the Duragon...
Krillin: Thanks Bulma, now go back to the cave...thanks.
(A few moments later)
Gohan: Now what?
The End. Bad End.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Dende stays with Guru, Bulma summons Porunga and wishes for Piccolo to be revived and put on Namek at his request, Piccolo ending up far away is attributed to Bulma's inexperience with the language. Guru dies but, with his dying breath, tells Dende to help the Humans with his healing abilities. Bulma nopes out of there the second Vegeta shows up, and Dende arrives around when Freeza transforms to his second form. Dende stays hidden until Krillin needs healing from horn impalement.
You know what? That I think that (or something similar would have worked).
It seemed Toriyama had no plans for Bulma beyond flying the ship when it came to Namek.
One Strip! One Strip!This is accurate enough, no need for the rest of the sentence
I remember Saiga theorising that Toriyama liked to have secondary characters at the ready just in case he wanted to use them (hence why Bulma was on Namek and the humans+Piccolo went to Kaioh). Makes sense, and I feel that explains how Dragon Ball came to have such a large cast by the end: Toriyama just kept around a bunch of characters he liked.
I find it hilarious that neither Frieza nor Vegeta could ever have gotten their wish for immortality granted.
If the Earthlings had never gone to Namek, Vegeta would have gotten himself killed wrestling with Frieza for the Dragon Balls, Frieza would get the Dragon Balls, and they would never respond to him. He might even kill Guru out of ignorance and ended the Balls. Then he'd be forced to return to the PTO embittered that he wasted so much time on this ridiculous nonsense and go about his business.

Would that have worked?
One Strip! One Strip!Transfer the powers to who? In this hypothetical, with Namek wiped out and Piccolo still dead, there isn't a Namekian left to create and sustain Dragon Balls. They're extinct.
That's the biggest stake of the Frieza arc. Frieza's immortality was never on the table, but Frieza - in his elitist egotism and sadistic cruelty - would have ignorantly brought about the end of the Dragon Balls forever. And then he'd go home, miffed that he ever bought into this stupid bullshit nonsense in the first place; consoling himself in the fact that, obviously, the Dragon Balls didn't work, because he had them all and nothing happened.
