Right now there are two main theories floating around. The first one, that the Ark couldn't sustain itself and the Portal collapsed. Like Cortana said. The second theory is that Medicant Bias changed the destination of the Portal on purpose. Medicant Bias was on installation 00 at the time Chief escaped. MB talks to Chief through the terminals. Here's an example.
"And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions. But I would have my masters know that I have changed. And you shall be my example."
- Mendicant Bias to John-117.
Look at the underlined part, Medicant Bias wants to show his "Masters" that he has come back from rampacy. So, he intends to show his "Masters", Masterchief. In short, Medicant Bias changed the vector of the Portal when the ship was half way through. So that MasterChief could face his "Master".
I'm sure the real reason will be revealed in Halo 4.The one thing that your forgetting is that half of the ship made it through, and the other half got transported near requiem. I believe that nullifies that theory.Medicant Bias might have not wanted Thel on-board with Chief.
