I always have to just assume there was a small group of survivors that kicked things off.

If I get really creative maybe there was some kind of motive for it too. Future humanity is on the losing end of a war and the only way to win is by reaching back in time to try and create more survivors from the disaster on Earth so that the future will have a stronger position when the war starts. They can't directly send matter back in time but they can manipulate energy to open a wormhole...

Because the others enjoy a good plot.

Seriously, it may have been the closest time and place where he could've been rescued before his air ran out. It wasn't until later that a space station was near the wormhole.
