My guess would be that this scene takes place before he achieved Super Saiyan and thus became essentially a demigod.
Because... iirc... he is shown to... essentially not actually really need to breathe, or at least be able to survive in the vacuum of space for a superhuman amount of time, at the end of the Freiza saga / start of the Android saga.
EDIT:
Sorry, but if you haven't seen DBZ, uh, spoilers technically I guess on this like 25 yo anime, but that's when he first becomes Super Saiyan.
I... can't actually remember the pictured scene happening... in DBZ?
Maybe it was in an episode that somehow didn't make it over to Toonami, or I think more likely, its from Dragon Ball, basically the prequel... which I have yet to actually see all of, lol.
I watched Z Kai recently, i don't think i remember any scene showing he can survive the vacuum of space. In fact he's shown rushing toward a frieza spade pod to survive. However they did show Bardock fighting Frieza Force in space at the beginning. That scene in op image doesn't seems to be in z kai though, probably in DB
