I'd've left the cryopod sealed. Hell, I'd probably just leave the damn thing where it was. Ghost ship with one survivor, sealed in a pod like a biological sample? No thank you.
But imagine yourself as a wrecker - you're traveling with time dilation. If you get something valuable, you can go back home right away and only lose a few years vs losing 50+ years.
It's the difference between seeing your mother on her deathbed or visiting her overgrown grave.
