You mean the moon that was moving at almost 1% lightspeed, and thus its mass was increasing hugely? That added to Clark's own sharply rising mass to the equation from going lightspeed? That was orders upon orders, of magnitudes above moon busting as a feat. It was far, far above destroying the Earth too.
No one in DBZ could withstand that kind of physical force.
We've known since Dragon Ball that their ki durability and their physical durability are not even remotely in proportion. Goku could tank Krillin's Kamehameha, yet could still be easily be hurt by Krillin's own punches. Krillin was already at or near Roshi's level at that time, and the kamehameha was his most powerful attack, yet it could be no-sold by Goku. Goku at that power level could still be hurt by sniper bullets to a degree as well. Tao Pai tanked a Kamehameha from Goku, yet nearly died from a grenade explosion in their next fight that was more modest.
Another example? They could not physically bust down the door to Dr. Gero's lab. But a casual ki blast from Vegeta in base could do it. That shows outright the difference in their physical pressure and their ki output, despite this, they can still hurt each other with punches even though fighters that are equals can withstand large ki blasts from each other.
They can hurt each other with punches, yet as late as early Buu Saga, Base Goku's muscles can't barely move under 589x Earth's gravity (40 tons + his own weight), so their standstill limb power generation is not that great, and even when adding in the SS multipliers, and their flight speed behind it, still isn't all that. And then later in that saga, Base Vegeta confirms the validity of the 40 ton scene by saying he might struggle a bit with 500x earth's gravity if Pui Pui were capable of moving under that.
It's obvious that the threshold for their physical durability is significantly less than their ki durability.
