The sunman is supposed to represent the rational, intellectual part of man, and the moonman is a gruff military man (or a greedy smuggler) because he's supposed to be associated with handling the physical world and physical aspect of man.
The needs of plot and character development of TV shows, though, tends to make the distinction between these characters hard to recognize. It's really difficult, for example, to depict intellectualism in a TV show, similarly, it's difficult to have one of the characters be dumb all the time, yet be heroic, or able to move a plot forward.
