During [**Vegeta Saga**](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Vegeta_Saga)

As I know, Bulma has asked Shenlong to kill the saiyans before they reached
Earth. But, Shenlong said that the he couldn't do that because the Saiyans are
stronger than him.

I am just wondering.. Since saiyans couldn't live in outer space. Why wouldn't
they wish for destroying their space ships instead of resurrecting Goku?
What's your opinion about this?

question
dragon-ball-z
Why didn't Kamesenin just chose to destroy the saiyan space ship when Vegeta and Nappa was on their way to earth?


**TL;DR : God is not strong enough to destroy those ships, therefore Shenron
isn't either.**

For the same reason why Shenlong can not kill the Saiyans, he may not be able
to destroy the ships.

[On the Dragon Ball
Wiki](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_%28object%29#History) :

> Shenron can grant a wish within its powers as long as it does not kill,
> create love, repeat a wish he previously granted, **surpasses its creator's
> power** , and a few more restrictions.

We do not know the resistance of those ships, but we know two things

  * It was built with really higher technology than the one present on earth
  * It is strong enough to resist a fall and crash from space

Considering those, we can assume that God, which is as strong as Piccolo at
this moment of the manga, is not strong enough to destroy it
