It was Rush who cancelled the dialing sequence to earth that someone had started to do and decided to dial the 9th Cheveron instead. From what I gathered from the episode he did so because he felt that it was the only opportunity that he would have of being able to do so.
Obviously a poor decision if you ask me as they had no idea what they were going to encounter on the other side of that wormhole. Luckily it wasn't worse than it could have been. However what is done is done. And now they have to deal with being billions of light years from earth.

Most people don't care that it wasn't explain or that it doesn't make sense.
Most people want realistic today but BELIEVE in the plot contrivance.
Look at un questioned plot contrivances today.
Star Wars: Episode II.
Naboo is leading the resistance to the creation of the clone army.
Palpatine wants executive powers to create a clone army.
He "coerces" Jar Jar to make the proposal.
What happened to the rest of his Party of Planets in the Senate that didn't want the army?
They just fell in line? After Jar Jar Binks? Convient.
Star Trek: The Movie
How does Old Spock, Kirk, and Scotty end up on the same planet and Spock JUST so happens to know the formula for warp transport to get back to the Enterprise?
How is Spock able to see the destruction of Vulcan from a planet that was not orbiting vulcan?
Why does Nero Leave Spock on a Planet with a Federation installation. Does he want him to get away?
The problem is no one really cares.
It's considered a stuffy formality that the movies today make sense.
Like the movies above. SGU was weak to bad story-telling.

Did TPTB take away your SGA binkie? QQ more somewhere else.
The man did his job. He was contracted to dial the 9 chevron address and he succeeded. Sure, it hasn't turned out so well so far, but he did his job.

After all, if you remember when they beamed down, they did so outside the base."From East Middle School. Suzumiya Haruhi. I have no interest in ordinary humans. If there are any aliens, time travelers, sliders, or espers here, come join me."

with shields up is it possible to beam at all anyway? i gathered the Hammond got damaged lowering thgeir shields to get everyone they could, cos they were holding at first.
As to dialing somewhere else it was the only chance that Rush would have had to do it. He may not have been lying though that it was too dangerous to dial anywhere else. if the gate was by default (it had been customised or something like Scott said) trying to dial using the massive amounts of energy stored in the planets core, if it wasn't used to dial the destiny it may have built up and overloaded one or both of the gates.

A fighter took out the front of the facility when it crashed...there was no way outside to get a lock.

The only reason rush stopped Dridley(or was ever his name was) dealing earth, was because the planets core was going critical, and he thought that there would be no other chance of doing his again.
I can understand why,
you've put in 2 years of work, just for it to blown up and you have to find another source of power used be pretty pissed right.
