[DC] Could Superman have donated his pod to NASA for study?

Superman does seem to care about humanity and helping them advance in this universe. According to the math, Superman's pod took about 3 years to travel the hundreds of trillions of light years between Krypton and Earth. With that technology, trips to the Moon and Mars would be like trips to the corner store and even leaving the solar system would only take a few hours or days round trip. So why not give the pod to NASA to advance their space program in ways that were never before possible?

He could,  but probably wouldn't,  as it would be a short term gain for humanity,  but a long term loss.   There are so many centuries of things for us to learn while developing that kind of FTL drive that we would have just skipped over.   For example,  what if we went from the horse and buggy,  but then before the invention of the automobile,  an alien gifted earth a tesla roadster.  You might think that would be great because we'd go straight to zero emission cars, but we'd skip over every other thing that came with the slow development of cars,  like the 5 day work week,  assembly lines,  traffic laws, portable power generators,  etc.
